The Geometric and Electronic Structure of a One‐Electron‐Oxidized Nickel(II) Bis(salicylidene)diamine Complex

Abstract

Class III delocalization? The isolation and analysis of the ligand-radical title complex has allowed description of the changes in bonding from the reduced form as well as the extent of delocalization. The intense low-energy absorption of the oxidized complex can be described as a ligand-radical transition of a highly delocalized class III mixed-valence compound.
