Sodium maleonitriledithiolate is the chemical compound described by the formulaNa 2S 2C 2(CN) 2. The name refers to the cis compound, structurally related to maleonitrile ((CH(CN)) 2). Maleonitriledithiolate is often abbreviated mnt. It is a "dithiolene", i.e. a chelating alkene-1,2-dithiolate. It is a prototypical non-innocent ligand in coordination chemistry. Several complexes are known, such as Ni(mnt) 2]2−.[2]: 143–146
Sample of ([(CH 3CH 2) 4N]+ ) 2[Ni(mnt) 2]2−.
The salt is synthesized by treating carbon disulfide with sodium cyanide to give the cyanodithioformate salt, which eliminates elemental sulfur in aqueous solution:[3]
8 NaCN + 8 CS 2 → 4 Na 2S 2C 2(CN) 2 + S 8
The compound was first described by Bähr and Schleitzer 1958.[4]
