title: Synthesis and magnetic properties of a [Ni(II)(TCNE)(NCMe)2-delta][BF4] magnet (Tc = 40 K).
abstract: The reaction of (NBu4)(TCNE) (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) and [Ni(NCMe)6][BF4]2 in CH2Cl2 forms layered [Ni(TCNE)(MeCN)2-delta][BF4], a magnet ( Tc = 40 K) with a ferromagnetic interaction within Ni-mu 4-[TCNE](*-) layers, and a new general route to the preparation of [M(TCNE)(NCMe)2][anion] magnets has been identified.
