Abstract

The reaction of the deprotonated N-thiophosphorylated thiourea 6-MeO(O)CC₆H₄NHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)₂ (HL) with NiCl₂ leads to violet [NiL₂2]·CH₂2Cl₂2 crystals, which were isolated by recrystallization from a mixture of CH₂Cl₂ and n-hexane. It was established that the deprotonated ligands, L, are 1,5-S,S′-coordinated. The influence of CH₂Cl₂ for the complex stabilization was studied.
