Phosphoraneiminato‐ and Phosphaneimine Complexes of Nickel(II). Crystal Structures of [Ni(O₃SCF₃)(NPMe₃)]₄, [Ni₄Br₅{NP(NMe₂)₃}₃], [NiBr₂{HNP(NMe₂)₃}₂], and [Ni(PMePh₂)₄] Black‐violet single crystals of [Ni(O₃SCF₃)(NPMe₃)]₄ ( 1 ) have been prepared from [NiBr(NPMe₃)]₄ and copper(I)triflate by metathesis reaction. The nickel atoms are associated via μ₃‐N bridges of the (NPMe₃^–) groups to form a heterocubane. The triflate ions are bonded to the Ni atoms in a chelate fashion. Blue single crystals of [Ni₄Br₅{NP(NMe₂)₃}₃] ( 2 ) are obtained by the reaction of NiBr₂ with Me₃SiNP(NMe₂)₃ in boiling toluene in the presence of sodium fluoride. The Ni atoms in 2 are associated with three μ₃‐bridged nitrogen atoms of the (NP(NMe₂)₃^–) groups as well as by a μ₃‐Br atom to give a distorted heterocubane. Deep blue single crystals of the phosphaneimine complex [NiBr₂{HNP(NMe₂)₃}₂] ( 3 ) are formed from Me₃SiNP(NMe₂)₃ and NiBr₂ in boiling dichloromethane. In 3 the Ni atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by the bromine atoms and by the nitrogen atoms of the phosphane imine molecules. Pale red crystals of [Ni(PMePh₂)₄] ( 4 ) have been obtained by the reaction of [NiBr(NPMe₃)]₄ with lithium phenylacetilyde in the presence of PMePh₂. In 4 the Ni atom is distorted tetrahedrally coordinated by the phosphorus atoms of the phosphane molecules with Ni–P distances of 219.9 pm in average. 1 – 4 have been characterized by crystallographic X‐ray analyses. 1 : Space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 1566.7(2); b = 1479.9(1); c = 1960.6(2) pm; β = 105.908(9)°; R = 0.0443. 2 · 3 CH₂Cl₂: Space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 293 K: a = 1226.0(3); b = 1614.0(3); c = 2406.0(5) pm; β = 92.34(3)°; R = 0.0703. 3 : Space group C2/c, Z = 4, latttice dimensions at 203 K: a = 1840.7(1); b = 810.1(1); c = 1607.2(2) pm; β = 94.74(1)°, R = 0.0340. 4 : Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 223 K: a = 1053.1(2); b = 1315.0(3); c = 1674.5(3) pm; α = 81.55(1)°; β = 79.15(2)°; γ = 84.91(2)°; R = 0.0497.
