title: Dinickel complexes of disubstituted benzoate polydentate ligands: mimics for the active site of urease.
abstract: Two dinickel mimics, [LNi2(DMF)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(CH3CN)4](ClO4)3 (), for the active site of urease supported by a disubstituted benzoate polydentate ligand were synthesized and fully characterized, subsequently addition of urea afforded two urea adducts, [LNi2(urea)4](ClO4)3 () and [L'Ni2(urea)4](ClO4)3 ().
