Generation and characterisation of a stable nickel(ii)-aminoxyl radical complex†
Abstract
A stable nickel(II)-aminoxyl radical complex was generated by the reaction of a nickel(II) complex supported by a tren ligand (tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) having bulky m-terphenyl substituents (TIPT: 3,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)phenyl) and m-CPBA (m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid). The formation mechanism of the nickel(II)-aminoxyl radical complex was examined.
