A. J. Edwards, M. Retbøll and E. Wenger

Abstract: The crystal and molecular structure of [bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane-²P,P']bromo(phenyl)nickel(II) chlorobenzene solvate, [NiBr(C₆H₅)(dcpe)]·C₆H₅Cl [dcpe is bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane, (C₆H₁₁)₂PCH₂CH₂P(C₆H₁₁)₂ or C₂₆H₄₈P₂], is reported. The complex is square planar and the Ni-P bond trans to the phenyl group is longer than the bond trans to Br, reflecting the stronger trans influence of the aromatic ring.
