Abstract
Ni(II) does not normally bind CO. We show how a judicious choice of li gand set and coordination geometry can make this possible as in NiCl2( PMe3)2-(CO). The two factors that favor CO binding are the TBP geometr y and the presence of donor ligands. The relevance to CODH, a Ni-conta ining enzyme, is discussed.
