Synthesis of a one-dimensional coordination polymer of nickel(II) with a beta-oxodithioester ligand

Abstract

Bis-[methyl-1-hydroxy-1-cyclopentene-2-dithiocarboxylate-O,S]nickel(II) 1 was prepared starting from methyl 2-hydroxycyclopent- 1-encarbodithioate ligand (CPDT) and Ni(II), and catena-[(𝜇2-4,4𸀠-Bipyril)-bis-(methyl-2-hydroxy-1-cyclopentene-2- dithiocarboxylate-O,S)]nickel(ΙΙ) 2 was prepared in good yields from 1 plus 4,4𸀠-bipyridyl (bpy) by shish-kebab methodology. The structure of 1 was confirmed by FTIR, elemental analysis, 1H NMR, UV–vis in chloroform solution and in solid, XPS, and PXRD. Compound 2 was characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, UV–vis in chloroform solution, and in solid, XPS, PXRD, ESR, and solid state magnetization measurements. The structure of the polymer was established mostly by PXRD, ESR, and magnetization
