Nickel complexes of a diphosphine-ketone ligand: oxidation-state dependant coordination
Summary
Master thesis performed at the group of Organic Chemistry and Catalysis (OCC) on the oxidation state dependant coordination of a diphosphine-ketone ligand towards nickel. Depending on the oxidation state on the nickel metal centre, the ligand was found to either coordinate its ketone moiety towards the nickel centre or to refrain from bonding.
