Oxidation of Ni-ECp* Complexes: Stable Open-Shell NiI Cations [Ni(ECp*)n(PPh3)4鈥?i>n]+ (n = 2, 4; E = Al, Ga)
文摘
Uncommon NiI cationic complexes were synthesized by treating [Ni(ECp*)2(PPh3)2] (E = Al, Ga; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with 1 equiv of [FeCp2][BAr4F]. All compounds have been prepared readily in high yield. The paramagnetic compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
