Abstract
Crystal and molecular structure of nickel(II) dimethyldithiocarbamate, Ni[S2CN(CH3)2]2 was solved by X-ray structural analysis and refined by the least squares method to R = 0.06 for 1065 reflections. The compound crystallizes in a space group P I and the triclinic unit cell has the dimensions: a = 6.521 (7), b = 6.798 (9), c = 7.633 (4), α = 67.21 (8)°, β = 67.34 (6)° γ =85.59 (9)°. The experimentally observed density is 1.75 g cm-3 and the calculated value for Z = 1 is 1.73 g cm-3. In the structure , the Ni atom occupies a special position in the centre of symmetry and is coordinated by four sulphur atoms in a plane: Ni-S 0.2218 (4) and 0.2198 nm S1-Ni-S2 angle 79.62 (8)°. The ligand S2CNC2 is nearly planar.
