title: Oxidation of Ni-ECp* Complexes: Stable Open-Shell Ni(I) Cations [Ni(ECp*)n(PPh3)(4-n)](+) (n = 2, 4; E = Al, Ga).
abstract: Uncommon Ni(I) cationic complexes were synthesized by treating [Ni(ECp*)2(PPh3)2] (E = Al, Ga; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with 1 equiv of [FeCp2][BAr4(F)]. All compounds have been prepared readily in high yield. The paramagnetic compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
