Abstract

In the title compound, K[Ni(C(3)S(5))(2)] x C(20)H(24)O(6).C(3)H(6)O, K(+) is incorporated in the cavity of the 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxa-2,3:11,12-dibenzocyclooctadeca-2,11-diene (DB18c6) molecule and is coordinated by the six DB18c6 O atoms and the propanone O atom. Two [K(+)(DB18c6)[(CH(3))(2)CO]] units form a dimer which is aligned in a one-dimensional manner along the a axis through a face-to-face interaction between the benzene rings of neighboring DB18c6 molecules. [Ni(dmit)(2)](-) anions are also aligned along the a axis through side-by-side S.S interactions.
