A highly conducting mixed-valence nickel bis(dithiolene) salt [Et₄N][Ni(Me-thiazSe-dt)₂]₂ with selone substitution

Abstract

The prototypical [Ni(dmit)2] complex (dmit: 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) is modified here by combining the N−R substitution found in [Ni(R-thiazdt)2] complexes (R-thiazdt: N-alkyl-thiazoline-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) and the selone substitution found in [Ni(dmiSe)2] complex (dmiSe: 1,3-dithiole-2-selone-4,5-dithiolate)...
