Crystal structure at 100 K of bis[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane]nickel(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate): a possible negative thermal expansion molecular material

In the title salt, [Ni(C26H24P2)2](CF3SO3)2 or [Ni(dppe)2]2+·(OTf−)2 [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane and OTf− = trifluoromethanesulfonate], the Ni atom (site symmetry \overline{1}) has a square-planar geometry with the bidentate ligands chelating the metal. As a result of the steric hindra...
