Nickel(II) and nickel(I) complexes with tripod arsine ligands
Abstract
The co-ordinating ability of the two, tripod like, ligands 1,1,1-tris(dimethylarsinomethyl)ethane, L1, and 1,1,1 -tris(diphenylarsinomethyl)ethane, L2, toward nickel has been investigated. The ligand L1 forms high-spin, six-co-ordinate, and low-spin, five- or four-co-ordinate nickel(II) complexes; with L2 the two pseudo-tetrahedral nickel (I) complexes of the formula NiL2Br and NiL2I have been obtained.
