title: Thermochemistry, bonding, and reactivity of Ni+ and Ni2+ in the gas phase.
abstract: In this review, we present a general overview on the studies carried out on Ni(+-)- and Ni(2+)-containing systems in the gas phase since 1996. We have focused our attention in the determination of binding energies in parallel with an analysis of the structure and bonding of the complexes formed by the interaction of Ni(+) with one ligand, or in clusters where this metal ion binds several identical or different ligands. Solvation of Ni(2+) by different ligands is also discussed, together with the theoretical information available of doubly charged Ni-containing species. The final section of this review is devoted to an analysis of the gas-phase uni- and bimolecular reactivity of Ni(+) and Ni(2+) complexes.
