B. Kersting et G. Steinfeld, The effect of N-methylation on the chemical reactivity of binuclear Ni amine-thiophenolate complexes, CHEM COMMUN, (15), 2001, pp. 1376-1377
Macrocyclic amine thiophenolate ligands are shown to form face-sharing bioc
tahedral nickel complexes with a central N3Ni(mu -SR)(2)(mu -Cl)NiN3 core s
tructure. The bridging halide ion can be readily replaced when all six nitr
ogen atoms are tertiary amine donors.
