The title salt, (PMIM)2[Ni(P2S8)2] (PMIM = 3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium, C7H13N2+), consists of a nickel–thio­phosphate anion charge-balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent PMIM cations. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The structure exhibits the known [Ni(P2S8)2]2− anion with two unique imidazolium cations in the asymmetric unit. Whereas one PMIM cation is well ordered, the other is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancies of 0.798 (2) and 0.202 (2). The salt was prepared directly from the elements in the ionic liquid [PMIM]CF3SO3. Whereas one of the PMIM cations is well behaved (it does not exhibit disorder even in the propyl side chain), the other is found in two overlapping positions. The refined occupancies for the two orientations are roughly 80:20. Here, too, there appears to be little disorder in the propyl arm.

Structure description

Ionothermal synthesis of inorganic compounds has received increased inter­est over the past two decades because of the high thermal stability, low vapor pressure, and reusability of ionic liquids (IL) (Wasserscheid & Welton, 2002[Wasserscheid, P. & Welton, T. (2002). Editors. Ionic Liquids in Synthesis, ch. 6, pp. 289-317. Weinheim: Wiley-VCH.]; Freudenmann et al., 2011[Freudenmann, D., Wolf, S., Wolff, M. & Feldmann, C. (2011). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50, 11050-11060.]; Zhang et al., 2016[Zhang, S., Zhang, Y., Zhang, Y., Chen, Z., Watanabe, M. & Deng, Y. (2016). Prog. Mater. Sci. 77, 80-124.]). Ionothermal methods have been used to prepare a wide range of materials, including metal–organic frameworks (Cook et al., 2013[Cook, T. R., Zheng, Y.-R. & Stang, P. J. (2013). Chem. Rev. 113, 734-777.]) and chalcogenides (Santner et al., 2016[Santner, S., Heine, J. & Dehnen, S. (2016). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 55, 876-893.]).

Because of the inter­esting properties observed in metal thio­phosphates, especially luminescence (Huang et al., 1992[Huang, Z., Cajipe, V. B., Le Rolland, B., Colombet, P., Schipper, W. J. & Blasse, G. (1992). Eur. J. Solid State Inorg. Chem. 29, 1133-1144.]; Wu & Bensch, 2008[Wu, Y. & Bensch, W. (2008). Inorg. Chem. 47, 7523-7534.]), we have explored the preparation of these materials in ionic liquids. Ionothermal synthesis with nickel yielded four new nickel thio­phosphate anions: [Ni(P2S8)2]2−, [Ni(P3S9)(P2S8)]3−, [Ni(P3S9)2]4−, and [(NiP3S8)4(PS4)]7−, all crystallized with 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium [EMIM] cations from the IL (Cody et al., 2012[Cody, J. A., Finch, K. B., Reynders, G. J. III, Alexander, G. C. B., Lim, H. G., Näther, C. & Bensch, W. (2012). Inorg. Chem. 51, 13357-13362.]). The compound presented herein was synthesized by substitution of [EMIM] with 3-methyl-1-propyl­imidazolium [PMIM] cation, resulting in the most readily isolated anion of the group, [Ni(P2S8)2]2−, as a PMIM salt.

The structure consists of a single [Ni(P2S8)2]2− anion (Cody et al., 2012[Cody, J. A., Finch, K. B., Reynders, G. J. III, Alexander, G. C. B., Lim, H. G., Näther, C. & Bensch, W. (2012). Inorg. Chem. 51, 13357-13362.]) and two PMIM cations. The anion exhibits the same shape as those previously isolated. The centrosymmetric space group P21/n contains both optical isomers of the anion whereas Fig. 1[link] only shows the Δ isomer. Whereas one of the PMIM cations is well behaved (it does not exhibit disorder even in the propyl side chain), the other is found in two overlapping positions. The refined occupancies for the two orientations are roughly 80:20. Here, too, there appears to be little disorder in the propyl arm.

Synthesis and crystallization

The ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate ([PMIM]CF3SO3) was prepared by a modified literature method (Bonhôte et al., 1996[Bonhôte, P., Dias, A., Papageorgiou, N., Kalyanasundaram, K. & Grätzel, M. (1996). Inorg. Chem. 35, 1168-1178.]): under a nitro­gen atmosphere, a stoichiometric amount of methyl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate was added dropwise to 1-propyl-1H-imidazole in di­chloro­methane.

Crystals of the title compound were prepared from a 125 mg mixture of the elements (ratio 1 Ni: 4 P: 16 S) that were weighed as a 1250 mg preparation, ground together, and portioned into Pyrex reaction tubes in a glove box. Then, in a glove bag, 1.25 ml portions of the ionic liquid [PMIM]CF3SO3 were added to the reaction tubes. The tubes were evacuated, sealed with a torch, heated at 150°C for 96 h, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 0.5°C /h. Similar crystals were obtained from a similar reaction in an ionic liquid with the same cation but different anion, [PMIM]BF4.

K. & Puschmann, H. (2009). J. Appl. Cryst. 42, 339-341.]).

The disorder of the PMIM cation was discovered by noticing slightly enlarged isotropic displacement parameters for the cation relative to the other cation in the structure. Also, residual electron density peaks near the cation formed a noticeable penta­gon, indicating the presence of the imidazolium core of the cation. The occupancies of the two disorder components refined to 0.798 (2) and 0.202 (2).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. All H atoms were positions with idealized geometry (methyl H atoms allowed to rotate but not to tip) and were refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) (1.5 for methyl H atoms) using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic, 0.97 Å for methylene and 0.96 Å for methyl H-atoms.
