(C-meso-N-meso-5,12-Dimethyl-7,14-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-4,11-diene)nickel(II) bis-[O,O'-bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl) dithio-phosphate].

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Ni(C(24)H(32)N(4))](C(14)H(14)O(2)PS(2))(2), comprises a centrosymmetric [Ni(meso-diphen-yl[14]dien)](2+) dication (meso-diphen-yl[14]dien is C-meso-N-meso-5,12-dimethyl-7,14-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-deca-4,11-diene) and two O,O'-bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl) dithio-phosphate anions. The Ni(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is chelated by a tetra-amine macrocycle ligand in a slightly distorted NiN(4) square-planar geometry. Two S atoms from symmetry-related anions are located in pseudo-axial positions with respect to the Ni(II) ion, with Ni⋯S distances of 3.1869 (8) Å. In the crystal, bifurcated inter-molecular N-H⋯S(S) hydrogen bonds connect cations and pairs of anions into three-component clusters. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link these clu
