The title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(24)NSi)(2)], is a homoleptic metal-η(3)-aza-allyl centrosymmetric complex containing two aza-allyl ligands bound in an η(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. ...[more]
