Ni(II) complex of bisthiophosphorylated thiourea prepared from the Betti base

The interaction between bisthiophosphorylated thiourea with nickel(II) nitrate in the presence of potassium tert-butylate has afforded NiL2 complex with square-planar configuration of the nickel(II) ion and the 1,3-N,S-coordination of the trans-positioned similar heteroatoms.
