E. Siebel et al., [NI(CN)(2).2ME(3)SNCN.(NBU(4)N)OH] - A LAYERED, SUPRAMOLECULAR ASSEMBLY CONTAINING THE EARLIER DESCRIBED, MACROCYCLIC BUILDING-BLOCK [((ME3SN)(2)OH)(2)(MU-(NC)(2)NI(CN)(2))(2)](2-), INORGANIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATIONS, 1(9), 1998, pp. 346-349
The crystal structure of OH}{Ni(CN)(4)}]=[Ni(CN)(2).2Me(3)SnCN.(nBu(4)
N)OH] (1), the formal 1:1-addition product of polymeric [(Me3Sn)(2)Ni(
CN)(4)]=[Ni(CN)(2).2Me(3)SnCN] and (nBu(4)N)OH, has been revisited at
153 K. Owing to the presence of distinct (Me3Sn)(2)O-H...N=C hydrogen
bonds, infinite, negatively charged layers containing cyclic [{(Me3Sn)
(2)OH}(2){mu-(NC)(2)Ni(CN)(2)}(2)](2-) units alternate with layers of
nBu(4)N(+) ions. CPMAS solid-state NMR spectra (C-13, N-15, Sn-119) st
rongly support nonsymmetric building blocks with exceedingly weak Sn-N
bonds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
