(Ethylenediamine-κ2N)(triethylenetetramine-κ4N)nickel hexafluorogermanate
Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(en)(TETA)][GeF6] or [Ni(C2H8N2)(C6H18N4)][GeF6], was synthesized under mild solvothermal conditions in the presence of triethylenetetramine (TETA) as a base. It is a new salt composed of [GeF6]2− anions and [Ni(en)(TETA)]2+ cations. The ions are linked together by hydrogen bonding between F atoms and N—H groups. The complex cation and anion lie on twofold axes of the space group Pccn.
