Abstract

Mononuclear and dinuclear nickel complexes, Ni(dtc)(PPh3)(SeR) (dtc=diethyldithiocarbamate; R=C6H5, C6H4Cl-4) and [Ni(dtc)(μ-SeR′)]2 (R′=CH3, CH2C6H5), were prepared by treatment of Ni(dtc)(PPh3)Cl with organoselenolate salts. Reactions of Ni(dtc)(PPh3)(SeR) with one equivalent of sulfur gave the dimeric complexes [Ni(dtc)(μ-SeR)]2 and SPPh3. The mononuclear nature of Ni(dtc)(PPh3)(SeC6H5) was established by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell dimensions a=15.047(4), b=10.286(2), c=19.475(5) Å, β=109.84(2)°, V=2835(1) Å3 and Z=4.
