Abstract: | The reaction of the bis(carbene) pincer ligand MeCNC with nickel acetate and Bu4NBr produced (MeCNC)3Ni2]4+Br]4 (2), a complex that contains the MeCNC ligand in both traditional tridentate chelating modes as well as in a unique, bridging mode between two Ni2+ ions. While 2 could not be crystallized or isolated in a pure form, the anion exchange of bromide with triflate yielded (MeCNC)3Ni2]4+OTf]4 (4), which could be recrystallized from methanol and isolated pure. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 4 confirmed the unusual dual-coordination modes of the MeCNC ligand towards Ni2+ in these species, and represents the initial example of a Group 10 complex of a bridging CNC ligand. |
