A series of nickel(ii) tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA) complexes featuring appended hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) to halides (F, Cl, Br) was synthesized and charcterized. Reduction to the nickel(i) state provided access to an unusual nickel(i) fluoride complex stabilized by H-bonds, enabling structural and spectroscopic characterization.
