Bis(?-2-tert-butyl-1-trimethyl-silyl-3-phenyl-1-aza-all-yl)nickel(II).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(24)NSi)(2)], is a homoleptic metal-?(3)-aza-allyl centrosymmetric complex containing two aza-allyl ligands bound in an ?(3)-manner to an Ni(II) atom located on a center of symmetry. The overall coordination about the Ni(II) atom is square-planar. The C and N atoms of the aza-allyl group are sp(2)-hybridized. The uneven Ni-C and Ni-N distances [2.045?(5)/2.060?(6) and 1.916?(5)?Å] are influenced by a steric hindering effect from the nearby benzene ring.
