Gm. Benedikt et al., Synthesis, solution dynamics, and x-ray crystal structure of bis(2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)(1,2-dimethoxyethane)nickel, ORGANOMETAL, 20(12), 2001, pp. 2565-2569
Reaction of dichloro(1,2-dimethoxyethane)nickel with 2 equiv of(tris(2, 4,6
-trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)lithium, generated in situ, produced bis(2,4,6-tri
s(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)(1,2- dimethoxyethane)nickel. Significant nickel-f
luorine interactions are revealed both in the solid state (X-ray crystal st
ructure data) and in solution (variable-temperature F-19 NMR spectral data)
.
