Selective coordination of cyanate and thiocyanate in the end-on mode: synthesis, structures and properties of [NiII2L(μ1,1-NCO)]+ and [NiII2L(μ1,1-NCS)]+ (L2− = macrocyclic N6S2 ligand)

The complex [Ni₂L]²⁺ exhibits a pre-organized binding pocket, whose walls direct the coordination of pseudohalide ions via repulsive CH⋯π interactions.

The structure and magnetism of mono- and di-nuclear Ni(ii) complexes derived from {N3O}-donor Schiff base ligands

Some mononuclear and dinuclear Ni(ii) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands exhibit zero-field splitting and ferromagnetic coupling, respectively.
