Abstract

The compound [Bu4N]2[Ni(ppdt)2] (1) (ppdt = pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dithiolate) has been synthesized, starting from pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dithiol, nickel chloride and tetrabutylammonium bromide in methanol. Compound 1 crystallizes in P21/c space group (monoclinic system). Its crystal structure is characterized by interesting C-H···S and C-H···N supramolecular weak interactions. Its solution state has been described with acid-base (protonation-deprotonation) behavior, that has rarely been investigated for a metal-dithiolene system. Compound 1 is first instance of a metal-dithiolene compound that has three ring nitrogen on each dithiolate ligand. The pH dependent changes in the charge-transfer absorption band are attributed to the protonation on an imine nitrogen of the ppdt ligand. The complex is electrochemically quasi-reversible with an oxidation potential of E1/2 = +0.46 V vs. Ag/AgCl in methanol.
