Abstract

Single crystals of [FcCH(2)N(CH3)(2)][Ni(C5S)(2)] have been grown in a typical H-type cell charged with [FcCH(2)N(CH3)(3)](I) and [(n-C4H9)(4)N](2)[Ni(C-3 S-5)(2)]. It belongs to the monoclinic system, P2(1)/n, a = 6.383(2), b = 18.810(7), c = 16.575(4) Angstrom, beta = 96.32(2)degrees, V = 1977.8(11) Angstrom (3) and Z = 4. Electrical conductivity measurements have shown that it is an insulator with a room temperature conductivity of 10(-7) S/cm. The low value for the conductivity is due to the absence of anion stacks and short S...S contacts in the crystal structure. Neutral complex [Ni(C3S5)(2)] was prepared by the diffusion process between [(n-C4H9)(4)N](2)[Ni(C3S5)(2)] and [FcCH(2)NH(CH3)(3)](BF4) in CH3CN. It showed a room temperature conductivity of 2 x 10(-2) S/cm.
