TAS, MURAT/0000-0002-2879-6501WOS: 000252610900005Ammonium O,O'-dicyclopentylphosphorodithioate (dcpdtp) has been synthesized from phosphorus pentasulphide and cyclopentanol in the presence of ammonia gas. Its complexes, I=[Ni(dcpdtp)(2)] and II= [Ni(bP)(2)(dcpdtp)(2)] (bp=4-benzylpiperidine), have been synthesized and their structures characterized by using UV-vis, IR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-ray single crystal structural analysis. The complexes crystallize in the triclinic system (space groups P (1) over tilde) and exhibit a slightly distorted square planar [NiS4] and trans-octahedral [NiS4N2] geometry for the complexes I and II, respectively
