Nickel(III) complexes of di-amidato-di-phenolato ligands: effect of H-bonding

The one-electron oxidation of the dianionic diamido-diphenoxo Ni(II) complexes involving H-bonding (1(2-)), or not (2(2-)), yields the corresponding Ni(III) species; the formation, stability and electronic structures of which are affected by the H-bonding interactions.
