Dithiocarbamate Complexes of Nickel(II) with 1,1′-Bis(Diphenylphosphino) Ferrocene

Ni(II) complexes of composition [Ni(bziprdtc)(dppf)]X, [Ni(but2dtc)(dppf)]X and [Ni(Rdtc)(dppf)]X [bz = C7H7; ipr = C3H7; but = C4H9; R = pld = C4H8; tz = C3H6S; hmi = C6H12; dtc = S2CN; dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene C34H28P2Fe; X = ClO4, I, Br, NCS] were synthesized and characterized X-ray structural analysis of [Ni(hmidtc)(dppf)]ClO4 confirmed coordination number four for nickel in a distorted, square-planar, NiS2P2 arrangement
