Ionic Ni Metal Bis-Dithiolene Complexes: Synthesis, Electronic Properties and Photo-Thermal Stability

Several anionic nickel(bis-dithiolene) complexes were conveniently synthesized by utilizing the neutral metal dithiolene complexes as a starting material at the presence of triethylamine, and these structures were confirmed by the high-resolution mass (HRMS), UV-Vis-NIR, XPS and IR spectroscopy, their physical properties were investigated. The results indicate that the new approach is suitable to prepare the ionic nickel(bis-dithiolene) complexes at a great quantity.
