Tris(bis[N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine-kappa3N]-nickell(II)) bis(tetrathioantimonate).
Yellow crystals of [Ni(deta)2]3[SbS4]2 (deta is diethylenetriamine, C4H13N3) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental Ni, Sb and S in a solution of diethylenetriamine. The structure is composed of tetrahedral [SbS4]3- anions in general positions and octahedral [Ni(deta)2]2+ cations located at centres of inversion. In the crystal structure, the anions and cations are stacked in the direction of the a axis in a pseudo-hexagonal arrangement.
