Formation of a nickel(<scp>II</scp>) complex with a new N₂S₂macrocyclic ligand by C–Cl bond cleavage and C–S bond formation

Abstract

Heating a monohelical square-planar nickel(II) complex containing chlorine atoms in the side arms gives a distorted octahedral nickel(II) complex containing the trans-N2S2 macrocyclic ligand by carbon–chlorine bond cleavage and carbon–sulfur bond formation.
