Nickel complexes of a bis(benzimidazolin-2-ylidene)pyridine pincer ligand with four- and five-coordinate geometries
The four- and five-coordinate complexes [(CNC)NiX2] (X = Cl, Br, I), [(CNC)NiX]PF6 (X = Cl,Br) and [(CNC)NiCl]ClH2O have been isolated, where CNC is the bis(N-butylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene)-2,6-pyridine pincer ligand. A five-coordinate geometry is rare for this class of complex.Where amenable, the c...
