Formation of Ni[C4(CN)8] from the reaction of Ni(COD)2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with TCNE in THF

Abstract

The dissolution of Ni(COD)2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) into dichloromethane leads to decomposition and formation of a room temperature magnetic material, whereas the reaction of Ni(COD)2 and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in THF forms paramagnetic materials including NiII[C4(CN)8](THF)2·xTHF. These results are discussed in context with a recent report of a room temperature magnet based upon the reaction of Ni(COD)2 and TCNE in dichloromethane.
