A Study of the Pressure Induced Irrevesible Conversion of Distorted Tetrahedrahedral Dichloro-trans-2-(2'-quinolyl)methylene-3-quinuclidinonenickel(II), [Ni(qnqn)Cl₂], into Binuclear Square Pyramidal [Ni(qnqn)Cl₂]₂

Abstract

Low-frequency i.r. spectral evidence has been obtained which indicates that the violet distorted tetrahedral complex, Ni(qnqn)Cl2, is irreversibly converted under pressure into its yellow, binuclear, square pyramidal isomer, [Ni(qnqn)Cl2]2; we believe this to be the first irreversible pressure induced solid state structural transformation reported for a transition-metal complex.
