Abstract: | The -CH(2)- group of the 2-nitrobenzyl pendant arm of the scorpionate complex I deprotonates in basic aqueous solution (pK(a) = 10.6), due to the coordination of the nitronate group to the nickel(II) center. Metal coordination enhances 2-nitrobenzene acidity by 10 orders of magnitude. [reaction: see text] |
