Abstract

The synthesis and full characterisation of a novel indole-substituted nickel dithiolene [Ni (mi- 5edt) 2](3) is reported, and compared to its alkyl-substituted analogue [Ni (mi-5hdt) 2](4) that has been previously communicated [Dalgleish et al., Chem. Commun., 2009, 5826][mi-5edt= 1-(N-methylindol-5-yl)-ethene-1, 2-dithiolate; mi-5hdt= 1-(N-methylindol-5-yl)-hex-1-ene-1, 2- dithiolate)]. Both complexes are shown to undergo oxidative electropolymerisation, ...
