Abstract

The new square-planar Ni^II-N₂O₂ complex [Ni(^MeL)] (1^Me), where ^MeL stands for the dianionic phenolato form of N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene)-4,5- dimethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine (^MeLH₂), has been synthesised and fully characterised. X-ray crystallography was also used for the characterisation. The electrochemical one-electron oxidation of 1^Me produces the thermally stable (within the temperature range 10-295 K) cationic species (1^Me)⁺. The UV/Vis and X-band EPR experimental data, supported by DFT calculations, indicate that (1^Me)⁺ is best described as a Ni^II monoradical complex and, thus, does NOT exist in a Ni^III ground state, in contrast to its demethylated counterpart [Ni(^HL)]⁺ (1^H)⁺ below 170 K.
