Nickel(ii) complexes based on dithiolate–polyamine binary ligand systems: crystal structures, hirshfeld surface analysis, theoretical study, and catalytic activity study on photocatalytic hydrogen generation

To ascertain the influence of binary ligand systems on the coordination modes of the Ni(ii) metal center and resulting supramolecular architectures, three Ni(ii) thiolate complexes have been synthesized in high yield in one step in water and structurally characterized.
