A new ion-pair complex,[2-Na(Me)IQl]2[Ni(i-mnt)2],was obtained by the direct reaction of K2(i-mnt)(i-mnt=iso-maleonitriledithiolate),NiCl2·6H2O and [2-Na(Me)IQl]Br([2-Na(Me)IQl]+=1-(2′-naphthylmethyl)isoquinolinium) in MeOH.Its composition and structure were characterized by elemental analyses,IR,UV-VIS and single crystal X-ray diffraction.The single crystal structure analysis revealed that the complex is composed of two [2-Na(Me)IQl]+ cations and a [Ni(i-mnt)2]2-anion,and forms a network structure through C-H…N,C-H…(hydrogen bonds and π…π stacking interaction.
