Synthesis and characterization of tetrapodal nickel complexes with adaptable ligand binding geometries

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the versatile binding properties of a tetrapodal ligand framework with nickel, demonstrating significant ligand fluxionality through the interconversions of several complexes. Kinetic studies using UV-vis and NMR techniques underscore the pivotal role of solvent coordination in initiating these dynamic processes. A unique reverse-dative Ni → Ag interaction provides another approach in modifying nickel's geometry.
