Abstract
In the structure of the title complex, {methyl cyclopentenedithiocarbo
xylato-O,N,N',S}nickel(II), [Ni(C16H18N2OS2)], the Ni-II atom is coord
inated by S, O and two N atoms in a nearly planar environment. The two
inequivalent N atoms, coordinated in a cis manner, show virtually ide
ntical bond lengths and angles indicating that the NS ligand fragment
coordinates as a Schiff base ligand, with the N atom behaving as an im
ine and the S atom having a strong thiolate character.
