It was also found that other species without dithiolene ligands were formed in these reactions, giving rise to different ion pairs and a tetrametallic cluster. The careful isolation of the different types of crystalline solids allowed the characterization of all of the resulting compounds by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). In order to establish the amount of nickel and iron present in the crystals, complementary total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) analyses were performed. The eight different structural types that were obtained are described and compared with related ones found in the literature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules25092240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,12]],"date-time":"2020-05-12T02:41:20Z","timestamp":1589251280000},"page":"2240","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Structural Study of the Compounds Formed in the Reactions of FeCl3\u00b76H2O with Ni(OH)2 in the Presence of Dithiolenes HSRSH (R = C6H2Cl2 or C6H4)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Esther","family":"Delgado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Inorg\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6826-4043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisa","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Inorg\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Inorg\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0256-0186","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josefina","family":"Perles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SCXRD Laboratory, SIdI, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7529-5120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e9lix","family":"Zamora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica Inorg\u00e1nica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto Madrile\u00f1o de Estudios Avanzados en Nanociencia, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-8545(01)00457-X","article-title":"Metal bis-1,2-dithiolene complexes in conducting or magnetic crystalline assemblies","volume":"227","author":"Cronin","year":"2002","journal-title":"Coord.
