Abstract: The title compound, [NiBr₂(C₂₇H₂₇NP₂)], was synthesized by the reaction of NiBr₂(dme) (dme is 1,2-dimethoxyethane) with N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)isopropylamine in methanol/tetrahydrofuran. The nickel(II) center is coordinated by two P atoms of the chelating PNP ligand, Ph₂PN(iPr)PPh₂, and two bromide ions in a distorted square-planar geometry.
