Crystal structure of chlorido-{tris-[2-(iso-propyl-sulfan-yl)phen-yl]phosphane-κ ,,',''}nickel(II) tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate.

The complex cation of the title compound, NiCl{P(CH-2-S--Pr)}, has a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry in which three S atoms are located in the equatorial plane, and one P and one Cl atom in the apical positions. In the cation, there are two intra-molecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, there are some inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds formed between the cation and the anion. The tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate anion and one of the methyl groups are both disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.629 (17):0.371 (17) and 0.786 (14):0.214 (14), respectively.
