The K-edge spectra of [Ni(287)2]2 and [Ni(cdt)2]2 are remarkably similar to each other and to those of natural hydrogenases.196 Some complexes with ligand (289) (R = NMe2, R = H, Me, NMe2) have been characterized using electronic and near infrared spectroscopy.823 Complex [Ni(289)2]2 served to study phase transformation behavior by microscopy and DSC.824... 

Wang and Stack (211) reported seven four-coordinate bis(phenolato)copper(H) complexes that were chemically one-electron oxidized with tris(4-bromo-phenyl)aminium hexachloroantiomonate to the corresponding EPR silent (phe-noxyl)copper(II) species. These compounds are schematically shown in Fig. 28. In a subsequent paper (212), these authors showed by Cu K-edge XAS that oxidation of the neutral species to the monocation is ligand centered with formation of (phe-noxyl)copper(II) species, in excellent agreement with similar experiments on GO.
