Title: Alkylation of a bioinspired high spin Ni(II)N{sub 3}S{sub 2} complex with bifunctional reagents

Journal Article · · Crystallography Reports

Crystal structures of two S-alkylated complexes generated from the reaction of iodoacetamide and iodoethanol with an air and moisture sensitive high spin Ni(II) pentacoordinate triaminodithiolate complex, 1 are determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystals of complex 2, [NiC{sub 16}H{sub 31}N{sub 5}O{sub 2}S{sub 2}]I{sub 2}, are triclinic, sp. gr. <##> } P } 1 $ P/bar 1 $P 1-bar , Z = 2. Crystals of complex 3, [NiC{sub 16}H{sub 28}N{sub 3}O{sub 2}S{sub 2}]I{sub 2}, are monoclinic, sp. gr. P2{sub 1}/c, Z = 4. Structures of complexes 2 and 3 are very similar: one of the S-acetamide (2) or S-ethanol (3) groups coordinates to the Ni center through the oxygen atom forming N{sub 3}S{sub 2}O hexacoordination; the other group remains unbound to the Ni and left dangling. Crystal packing shows that complexes 2 and 3 interact with the iodide counterions, and that only complex 2 interact with neighboring molecules; some of these close intermolecular contacts include H-bonding interactions.
