title: A mixed-metal pentanuclear complex containing linked NiIIN2S2 and CuII units.
abstract: Bis[(1S,2S)-trans-3,3'-(1,2-cyclohexanediyldinitrilo)bis- (2-methylpropane-2-thiolato)]-1 kappa 4N1,N1',S1,S1';2 kappa 4N2,- N2',S2,S2';3 kappa 2S1,S2';4 kappa 2S1',S2;5 kappa 2S1',S2'-triiodo-3 kappa I, 4 kappa I,- 5 kappa I-tricopper(I)dinicke1(II) bis(acetonitrile) solvate, [[Ni(C14H28N2S2)]2(CuI)3]. 2CH3CN, is one of a number of possible novel pentanuclear complexes formed from MIIN2S2 units with available donating thiolate ligands. In the title compound, three CuII groups bridge thiolate ligands from two approximately square-planar [NiIIN(amine)2S(thiolate)2] units to form the pentanuclear complex. The coordination geometry of each Cu atom is approximately trigonal planar.
