This article describes the MO diagrams and electronic absorption and resonance Raman (RR) spectra of a series of complexes of the types Ni(R-DAB)2, Ni(CO)2(R-DAB), and Ni(CO)2(R-pyca) (DAB = 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene; pyca = pyridine-2-carb-aldehyde imine). Major differences in the electronic and RR spectra of these complexes are attributed to differences in molecular structure (tetrahedral vs pseudoplanar) and rationalized with the use of MO diagrams derived from CNDO/s calculations on these complexes.
