Cover illustration: The salt bis(3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bis(4,6-disulfanidyl-4,6-disulfanylidene-1,2,3,5,4,6-tetrathiadiphosphinane-3S2,S4,S6)nickel, [PMIM]2[Ni(P2S8)2] (PMIM = 3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium), was prepared from the elements in the ionic liquid [PMIM]CF3SO3. The structure consists of ordered anions and one ordered PMIM cation. The disordered PMIM cation is found in two orientations that refine to occupancies of roughly 0.80 and 0.20. The isolation of the title compound indicates that well behaved crystals can be obtained from direct reaction of the elements in ionic liquids with propyl chains that might otherwise be considered too prone to poor crystallization.
