Publication date: Available online 3 December 2018Source: Journal of Organometallic ChemistryAuthor(s): Maximilian H. Clauberg, Darya Schmidt, Jörg Rust, Christian W. Lehmann, Natalia Arefyeva, Mathias Wickleder, Fabian MohrAbstractA family of square planar nickel(II) complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as well as tridentate, dianionic ligands was prepared by two different methods. The compounds were characterised by various spectroscopic methods and the solid-state structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies of the compounds are also reported.Graphical abstract
