The molecule of the title complex, [Ni2(C21H15N3O5)2(H2O)4]·4C3H7NO, is located on an inversion centre. This results in a dimeric Ni(II) complex, with the two Ni(II) atoms bridged by phenolate O atoms. The tridentate ligand is chelated to each Ni(II) atom via one N and two O atoms of the imino-late form of the hydrazide moiety, which has the same conformation as the free ligand. The coordinatio...

The compound [Ni(L)(isoph)₂][Ni(L)]·8H₂O (1; L = C-meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; H₂-isoph = isophthalic acid) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 exhibits a geometrically symmetric core with a {4/6} coordination number set. The coordination environment around the Ni(1) ion is a distorted octahedron, while the geometry around the fou...

The Ni atom in the title complex, [Ni(SO(4))(C(15)H(13)N(5))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O, has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination formed by the tridentate 2,6-bis-(2-pyridylamino)pyridine (tpdaH(2)) ligand, one sulfate and one coordinated water mol-ecule. The tpdaH(2) ligand is three-coordinated, with the N atom of the central pyridine ring in the equatorial position [Ni-N = 1.9961 (14) Å] and the ...

Mechanistic studies of the hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers by nickel were undertaken with (diphosphine)aryl methyl ethers. A Ni(0) complex containing Ni-arene interactions adjacent to the aryl-O bond was isolated. Heating led to aryl-O bond activation and generation of a nickel aryl methoxide complex. Formal β-H elimination from this species produced a nickel aryl hydride which can undergo reduct...

The title compound, [Ni(C11H16O2PS2)2], is a neutral four-coordinate mononuclear complex with a square-planar geometry. The complex lies on an inversion center. The metal atom is surrounded by two chelating isobidentate O-propan-2-yl (4-eth-oxy-phen-yl)dithio-phospho-nate ligands in a trans configuration binding through the S-donor atoms. The Ni-S bond lengths are 2.2328 (5) and 2.2369 (5) Å, a...

Three di-Schiff-base ligands, N,N 0-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine (H2Salpn), N,N 0-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-pentanediamine (H2Salpen) and N,N 0-bis(salicylidine)-ethylenediamine (H2Salen) react with Ni(SCN)2 Æ 4H2O in 2:3 molar ratios to form the complexes; mononuclear [Ni(HSalpn)(NCS)(H2O)] Æ H2O (1a), trinuclear [{Ni(Salpen)}2Ni(NCS)2] (2b) and trinuclear [{Ni(Salen)}2Ni(NCS)2] (3) respec...

A Ni(0)-NCN pincer complex featuring a six-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) central platform and amidine pendant arms was synthesized by deprotonation of its Ni(II) precursor. It retained chloride in the square-planar coordination sphere of nickel and was expected to be highly susceptible to oxidative addition reactions. The Ni(0) complex rapidly activated ammonia at room temperature, in a...

Phenanporphodimethene (1) is a porphyrin analogue which has a dipyrromethene unit replaced by a 1,10-phenanthroline moiety. This modification effectively coverts a dianionic porphyrin to a monoanionic porphyrin analogue with a porphyrin-like N4 coordination sphere. The ligand 1 forms copper and nickel hexafluorophosphate complexes, Cu-1 and Ni-1, respectively. X-ray crystallographic analysis of...

Solvothermal reactions of mixed ligands H(3)BTC and macrocyclic oxamide complexes (ML, M = Cu, Ni) with M(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O (M = Co, Zn, Ni and Cd) afford six new complexes, including [M'(4)(BTC)(2)(ML)(2)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (M' = Co, M = Ni, for (1); M' = Zn, M = Ni, for (2); M' = Zn, M = Cu, for (3)), [Ni(3)(BTC)(2)(NiL)(2)(H(2)O)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2H(2)O (4), [Cd(4)(BTC)(2)(HBTC)(NiL)(4)(H(...

A convenient method of preparing two- and three-coordinate Ni(I) complexes of the form L-NiI-X (L = P t Bu3, P i Pr3, DPPE, NHC; X = -N(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3), -O(2,6- t Bu2-4-Me-C6H2)) is reported. Protonation of the easily prepared anionic Ni(I) bis(amido) complex K{Ni[N(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3)]2} in the presence of an appropriate L-type ligand results in loss of HN(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3) and ...
