title: Reactivity of phosphonodithioato-dppt Ni(II) mixed ligand complexes with halogens: first example of a metal-coordinating tribromide anion.
abstract: The first example of a metal complex containing a tribromide anion is presented and characterised by X-ray diffraction. Hybrid DFT calculations were used to investigate the nature of the bond in coordinating trihalides and the differences with the corresponding mono-halide complexes.
