Nickel coordination chemistry

The family of poly(pyrazol-l-yl)borates has been widely used as supporting ligands in nickel coordination chemistry.556,557 Complex (191) is an example, where unusual cysteine coordination is achieved at a tris(pyrazolylborate)nickel(II) template.601 (191) undergoes rapid reaction with molecular oxygen to presumably form a sulfinate. 

The readily accessible oxalamidine derivative PhN = C(NHBu )C(NHBu ) = NPh provides another useful entry into the coordination chemistry of oxalamidinato ligands. Scheme 195 summarizes the results of an initial study. Mono- and dinuclear complexes of Ti, Zr, and Ta have been isolated and fully characterized. Silylation of both N-H functions was achieved by subsequent treatment with 2 equivalents of n-butyllithium and MesSiCl. The preparation of a nickel(II) complex failed and gave a hydrobromide salt instead. ... 

The bulk of the literature on the coordination chemistry of formazans deals with complexes of copper, nickel, cobalt, and chromium. 

The basic properties of nickel and the coordination chemistry of nickel reported until 1983 have been comprehensively described in Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry (CCC, 1987). Hence, work published prior to 1983 will not be mentioned here, and the reader should generally refer to the respective chapters of CCC—only at some points specific reference to CCC is given. Also, the basic geometric preferences and the electronic and spectromagnetic properties of nickel in its various oxidation states will not be recapitulated, since an excellent overview is included in the first edition and only selected recent advances are added in this second edition. 

For many years, the coordination chemistry of nickel has been included in annual reviews.1-10... 

Nickel-azide coordination chemistry has received particular attention with respect to magnetic properties and molecular magnetism. Therefore, Nin/N3 systems are covered in a separate section (Section 6.3.4.13.1). 

Triphos-derived tridentate ligands with mixed donor sets have been developed and subsequently used in Ni coordination chemistry. Nickel(II) complexes include dinuclear compounds (254) and (255) with P2S and P2O ligands, respectively.6... 

A handbook on inorganic and coordination chemistry of porphyrins has been published.1765 Factor F430 is the nickel-hydrocorphinoid group of the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase.47,48 The mystery of this particular metalloprotein is one of the major reasons for the development of Ni11-porhyrin coordination chemistry, although not the only one. 

The key role played by diverse nickel complexes in the development of C02 coordination chemistry and C02 electroreduction catalysts has been highlighted, 440 and several reviews discussing C02 electroreduction and photoreduction are available.2441-2445... 

Nickel(0) complexes with water-soluble phosphines have attracted interest in the context of homogeneous catalysis. A comprehensive study of the coordination chemistry of tris(sodium-m-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine (1039) has appeared.2504 The complexes [Ni(CO)2(1039)2] 6HzO have been made by reaction of (1039) with Ni(CO)4 under phase-transfer conditions, and the homo-leptic [Ni(1039)3]-9H2O has been made from Ni° precursors and (1039) under phase-transfer conditions, or from NiCl2, (1039), and BH4 in water. A related complex [Ni(CO)2(1040)2] with the bidentate ligand (1040) has also been studied.2505... 

This volume is concerned with fundamental developments in the coordination chemistry of the elements of Groups 9-12 since 1982. The individual chapters cover the coordination chemistry of cobalt, iridium, nickel, palladium, platinum, copper, silver and gold, zinc and cadmium, and mercury. Unfortunately, because of factors beyond the Editors control, the manuscript for the proposed chapter on rhodium was not available in time for publication. 

More than 90% of the nickel and cobalt in laterite ores (1.0-1.6% nickel) can readily be leached by sulfuric acid at >240 °C, typically producing large volumes of relatively dilute leach solution containing 3-6 gL-1 of nickel and around 40 gL-1 H2S04.98 In addition to nickel and cobalt these leach solutions contain Al, Cr, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, Si, and Zn.89 The design of reagents and protocols for the separation and concentration of metal values in these streams has depended heavily on differences in the coordination chemistry of the components.

Organic derivatives of phosphorus trichloride—i.e., chlorophosphines of the types RPC12 or R2PC1—had never been fluorinated. We assumed the hitherto unknown fluorophosphines to be possibly interesting ligands in coordination chemistry. Such expectations were supported by earlier observations of Chatt (5, 6) and Wilkinson (32), who found that the parent compound phosphorus trifluoride as a ligand in certain coordination compounds with platinum or nickel behaved very much like carbon monoxide. 

The coordination chemistry of nickel is regularly reviewed. See Poulds, O. A. Coord. Chem. Rev 1990, 98, 1-122. 

The coordination chemistry of the nickel complexes of benzimidazole is very complicated, critically depending on the exact reaction conditions.883-885...
