Highly unusual interpenetration isomers of electroactive nickel bis(dithiolene) coordination frameworks

The metalloligand [Ni(pedt) 2 ] − (pedt = 1-(pyridine-4-yl)ethylene-1,2-dithiolate) has been incorporated into two multi-dimensional structures for the first time. These coordination frameworks represent highly unusual interpenetration isomers and exhibit solid state redox and optical properties tha...

Description
Summary:The metalloligand [Ni(pedt) 2 ] − (pedt = 1-(pyridine-4-yl)ethylene-1,2-dithiolate) has been incorporated into two multi-dimensional structures for the first time. These coordination frameworks represent highly unusual interpenetration isomers and exhibit solid state redox and optical properties that reflect the electronically delocalised nature of the metalloligand. Two highly unusual isomeric coordination frameworks incorporating the nickel bis(dithiolate) metalloligand exhibit cyclable electroactive properties.
