Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic property of a maleonitriledithiolate nickel(III) complex containing an ammonium crown ether cation

The synthesis, molecular structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of (NH4)(2) (15-crown-5)(3)[Ni(mnt)(2)](2) (mnt = maleonitriledithiolate dianion) are reported. The most notable structural feature of (NH4)(2)(15-crown-5)(3)[Ni(mnt)(2)](2) is that the ions form a stacked structure with well-separated columns along the c and a axes. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate strong antiferromagnetic interactions in the complex.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000231907400005&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Chemistry, Inorganic & NuclearSCI(E)0ARTICLE141209-12155
