Crystal structure of polynuclear pivalate Ni(II) complexes with butanediol.

Using single crystal X-ray diffraction the structure of polynuclear [Ni(OH)(Piv)(HOCHO)(HPiv)], {K[Ni(CO)(Piv)(OH)(HOCHOH)]}HPiv, {[Ni(OH)(Piv)(HOCHO)(MeCO)(HOCHOH)]×(Piv)}, and {K[NiL(Piv)]} complexes, where HOCHOH is 1,4-butanediol, HPiv is pivalic acid, and L is the anion of nitroxyl radical 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-4-(3′,3′,3′-trifluoro-2′-oxy-1′-propenyl)-3-imidazolin-1-oxyl is determined.
