Abstract
The reaction of the nickel complexes [(dppm)NiBr2] [dppm = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane] and [(dppe)NiBr2] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] with stanna-closo-dodecaborate [Bu 3NH]2[SnB11H11] (1) yielded the trigonal-bipyramidal coordination compounds [Bu3NH] 4-[(dppm)Ni(SnB11H11)3] (2) and [Bu3NH]4[(dppe)Ni(SnB11H11) 3] (3). The square-planar compound [Bu3NH] 2[(ImiPr2Me2)2-Ni(SnB 11H11)2] (4) (ImiPr2Me2 = 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-di-methyl-imidazoliumylidene) could be obtained by the reaction of the N-heterocyclic carbene complex [(ImiPr2Me 2)2-NiBr2] with [Bu3NH] 2[SnB11H11] (1). The new coordination compounds were characterized by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis.
