Xh. Bu et al., NOVEL STRUCTURE OF AN UNUSUAL CIS NICKEL(II) COMPLEX OF A NEW DIOXOCYCLAM BEARING 2-METHYLFURAN PENDANTS, Polyhedron, 15(7), 1996, pp. 1203-1205
A new dioxocyclam ligand bearing two 2-methylfuran pendants has been s
ynthesized and its nickel(II) complex isolated as a single crystal and
the structure determined. The complex takes an unusual cis-configurat
ion and, to our knowledge, this is the first crystal structure of a di
oxocyclam-Ni(II) complex.
