Theses and Dissertations

The structures of five organonickel compounds were determined using x-ray diffraction techniques. This study was conducted to ascertain the relationships between the compound's structures, bonding, and chemical properties. The first structural evidence for discrete complexes containing Ni-SiX3 bonds is (h6-mesitylene)Ni(SiCl3)2 and presented. The compounds (h6-toluene)Ni(SiF3)2, crystallize in space group P21/c with Z = 2. The lattice constants at 23° C are: a = 9.056(2), b = 14.426(1), c = 13. 3 0 3 ( 2) ~, {J = 10 0. 6 9 ( 1 )0 , and a = 11. 3 5 5 ( 3) , b = 11.268(4), c …
