Carbon disulfide binding at dinuclear and mononuclear nickel complexes ligated by a redox-active ligand: iminopyridine serving as an accumulator of redox equivalents for the activation of heteroallenes†
Abstract
The dinuclear complex Ni2L1(η2-CS2)2 (2), featuring iminopyridine ligation, is prepared by COD substitution from Ni2L1(COD)2 (1). Spectroscopic, structural, and theoretical data reveals significant
