Preparation and characterization of conducting trimetallic nickel-dithiolene complexes with bridging tetrathiooxalate ligands.

Trimetallic nickel dithiolene complexes with two tetrathiooxalate (tto) ligands were obtained by a reaction monitored by ESI-mass spectrometry followed by HPLC separation and were characterized by elemental or crystal structural analysis, MO calculations, and electrical conductivity measurements.
