Synthesis of [NiLI–III
]
2
A suspension of HLI–III (3 mmol; 0.99, 1.03, or 1.08 g) in aqueous EtOH (10 mL)
was mixed with an aqueous EtOH solution of potassium hydroxide (3.3 mmol, 0.18 g). An
aqueous EtOH (10 mL) solution of NiCl2 (1.9 mmol, 0.25 g) was added dropwise under
vigorous stirring to the resulting potassium salt. The mixture was stirred at room temper-
ature for a further 3 h and then left overnight. The resulting complex was extracted with
dichloromethane, washed with water, and dried with anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was
then removed under vacuum. Violet [NiLI–III2] crystals were isolated from dichloromethane
by n-hexane.

Crystal Structure Determination and Refinement
The X-ray data for HLIII were collected on a STOE IPDS-II diffractometer with
graphite-monochromatized Mo-Kα radiation generated by a fine-focus X-ray tube operated
at 50 kV and 40 mA. The images were indexed, integrated, and scaled using the X-Area data
reduction package.21 Data were corrected for absorption using the PLATON program.22 The
structures were solved by direct methods using the SHELXS-97 program23 and refined first
isotropically and then anisotropically using SHELXL-97.23 Hydrogen atoms were revealed
from ꢀρ maps, and those bonded to C were refined using appropriate riding models. H
atoms bonded to N were freely refined.
