Complexes under pressure! The complexes [{NiCl2(PN)} 4] (PN = 2-diphenylphosphinomethyl-2-oxazoline or -2-thiazoline; see picture; Ni green, Cl pink, P orange, S yellow, N blue, C gray) have an unprecedented, centrosymmetric Ni4Cl8 core with 20-electron metal centers and undergo pressure-induced fragmentation into the mononuclear, square-planar 16-electron complexes [NiCl2(PN)], which are in equilibrium with the respective tetramer in solution. (Figure Presented).
