Materials Data on NiH10C4(SN4)2 by Materials Project
NiC4H10(N4S)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four NiC4H10(N4S)2 clusters. Ni2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four N3- atoms. There is two shorter (1.85 Å) and two longer (1.87 Å) Ni–N bond length. There are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There are a spread of C–N bond distances ranging from 1.31–1.37 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two N3- and one S2- atom. There is one shorter (1.32 Å) and one longer (1.38 Å) C–N bond length. The C–S bond length is 1.72 Å. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ni2+, one C4+, and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.02 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C4+ and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.03 Å. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ni2+, one C4+, and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.03 Å. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.02 Å) N–H bond length. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. S2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
