Abstract: A three-coordinate diketiminate-nickel(l) complex with a carbonyl ligand has been characterized using EPR and IR spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography. The T geometry (bending from the sterically favored C2v structure) contrasts with that of isosteric d9 copper(ll) complexes. DFT calculations on a truncated model reproduce experimental geometries, implying that the geometric differences are electronic in nature. Analysis of the charge distribution in the complexes shows that the geometry of the three-coordinate d9 complexes is affected by differential charge donation of the ligands to the metal center.
