Crystal structure, magnetic properties and Mössbauer studies of [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2]

Abstract A new compound of formula [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2] (1) has been synthesised, structurally and magnetically characterised (qsalH = N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine, dmit2− = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato). Its structural features and its magnetic behaviour were compared with those of [Fe(qsal)2]-based complexes, and more particularly [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2] · 2CH3CN.
