Abstract
Reinvestigation of the structure reported previously as the Ni(II) com plex of TCNTA. by EDS analysis and crystallographic refinement, failed to confirm the presence of nickel and indicated a cobalt complex inst ead. It is inferred that the crystal of interest. which appeared over a period of months from a nitric acid solution of Ni(II) and the TCNTA ligand, was formed by slow crystallization of cobalt impurities to fo rm a single crystal of the title compound.
