Nickel Acetyl Acetonate [Ni(acac)2]

Bis(acetyl­acetonato-κ2 O,O′)[copper(II)nickel(II)(0.31/0.69)]: a mixed-metal complex

The title complex, [Cu(0.31)Ni(0.69)(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)], was isolated from the reaction of bis-(N,N-dimethyamino-ethanol)copper(II) with bis-(acetyl-acetonato)nickel(II), which yielded crystals with mixed sites at the central metal position; the refined copper-nickel occupancy ratio is 0.31 (4):0.69 (4). Two acetyl-acetonate ligands, related by a centre of symmetry, are coordinated to the centra...

Dinuclear nickel complexes modeling the structure and function of the acetyl CoA synthase active site.

A dinuclear nickel complex with methyl and thiolate ligands, Ni(dadt(Et))Ni(Me)(SDmp) (2), has been synthesized as a dinuclear Ni(d)-Ni(p)-site model of acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) (dadt(Et) is N,N'-diethyl-3,7-diazanonane-1,9-dithiolate; Dmp is 2,6-dimesitylphenyl). Complex 2 was prepared via 2 methods: (i) ligand substitution of a dinuclear Ni(II)-Ni(II) cation complex [Ni(dadt(Et)) Ni(tmtu)2] ...

Structure, Function, and Mechanism of the Nickel Metalloenzymes, CO Dehydrogenase, and Acetyl-CoA Synthase

Bis(3-acetyl-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-pyran-4-olato)bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide)nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(4))(2){(CH(3))(2)SO}(2)], the Ni(II) atom is located on a crystallographic centre of symmetry and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry of type MO(6). The bidentate dehydro-acetic acid (DHA) ligands occupy the equatorial plane of the complex in a trans configuration, and the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligands are weakly coordinated through their O...
