Abstract

The diamagnetic dinuclear complex Ni2L4 was synthesized by the reaction of NiCl2·6H2O with 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (LH) in ethanol in the presence of Et3N. The solid-state reaction (reagent ratio Ni: LH = 1: 2) followed by recrystallization of the reaction product from a MeCN-THF mixture afforded crystals of the associate [Ni2L4]2·[NiCl2(LH)2(MeCN)2] containing four acetonitrile solvate molecules. Crystals of 2·4MeCN exhibit ferromagnetic properties at helium temperatures.
