Magnetostructural <i>D</i> Correlation in Nickel(II) Complexes: Reinvestigation of the Zero-Field Splitting

Abstract

The magnetostructural D correlation interrelates the zero-field-splitting parameter D withdrawn from the magnetic data with the structural tetragonality parameter D(str). This correlation allows the quantitative prediction that D < 0 occurs for the tetragonally compressed nickel(II) complexes.
