| Abstract: | The nanocrystal structure of a hetero-polyatomic metal-ligand complex,
[PPh4][NiII(L2−)(L1−·)], (1)
(L = 1,2-dicarbomethoxyethylene dithiolate) has been arrived at from its
molecular structure obtained by X-ray crystallography. The complex (1) exhibits dimorphism, existing in two
crystal habits at the micro level, viz., rectangular prismatic and hexagonal.
Rectangular or hexagonal repeating motifs manifest in the lattice packing of
the two crystal structures of (1) in
two different solvents which extend up to nano dimension and result in nano
sized rectangular and hexagonal prismatic crystals. This provides major clues
to understand the shapes of hetero-poly atomic nanocrystals at the molecular
level. |
