[N,N-Bis(2-aminoethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine](ethane-1,2-diamine)nickel(II) thiosulfate trihydrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Ni(C2H8N2)(C6H18N4)]S2O3·3H2O, was accidentally synthesized under solvothermal conditions applying [Ni(en)3]Cl2 (en is ethane-1,2-diamine) as the Ni source. The asymmetric unit consists of one discrete [Ni(tren)(en)]2+ complex [tren is N,N-bis­(2-amino­eth­yl)ethane-1,2-diamine] in which the Ni2+ cation is sixfold coord­inated within a slightly distorted octa­hedron, one thio­sulfate anion and three water mol­ecules. In the crystal, the complex cations, anions and water mol­ecules are linked by an intricate hydrogen-bonding network. One C atom of the tren ligand, as well as one O atom of a water mol­ecule, are disordered over two sites and were refined using a split model (occupancy ratios = 0.85:15 and 0.60:0.40, respectively).

[Mn(terpy)Sb2S4]n, a 1D Network of MnSb4S5 Rings Exhibiting a Pronounced Magnetocaloric Effect and Luminescence

“…With the rising number of thioantimonates and antimony sulfide compounds, the possibilities regarding their applications increased significantly. It was shown that such compounds exhibited promising properties in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction, [1][2][3] photocatalytic dye degradation, [4,5] or as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. [6] Due to the flexible coordination geometries of Sb(III), Sb-S bond lengths and S-Sb-S angles, a large variety of thioantimonate(III) structures ranging from discrete anions up to threedimensional networks have been synthesized and characterized.…”
