The complexation of nickel(ii) with acetylacetonate bis(thiosemicarbazone) N 2 S 2 ligands with varying substituents has revealed that two isomers can exist independently in solution. These isomers differ according to the formation of either a 5,6,5-membered (symmetric) or a 4,7,5-membered (asymmetric) chelate ring arrangement. These two isomers have distinctly different properties. The symmetric complex (sym-[Ni(acacR)]) is unstable in the presence of air and slowly converts to the oxidised analogue sym-[Ni(acacRO)] with a carbonyl group installed at the apical C-atom. The mechanism of this O-atom transfer reaction is still unclear but kinetic and spectroelectrochemical experiments in addition to Density Functional Theory calculations have identified a single electron oxidised Ni II -ligand radical complex as a key intermediate. By contrast the asymmetric complex, asym-[Ni(acacR)] is inert to ligand oxidation. |
