Ma. Poraikoshits et Ga. Kukina, THE AXIAL LONG-RANGE INTERACTION IN 1,4,7,10-TETRAAZACYCLOTRIDECANENICKEL(II) BIS-TETRAETHYNILBORATE NI([13]ANEN4)(TEB)2, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(8), 1993, pp. 1431-1432
In Ni([13]aneN4)(teb)2 (1) axial long-range interaction with the teb a
nions leads to bipyramidal coordination of Ni (coordination number 4+2
), whereas in 1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecanenickel bis-tetraethynilborate,
[Ni(2,3,2-tet)teb]teb (2) only one of the teb anions is involved in co
ordination. Shortening of the equatorial Ni-N bond by 0.1 angstrom in
1 compared with 2 leads to elongation of the axial secondary bonds by
about 0.6 angstrom.
