“…However, mono-(terpyridine) complexes (ratio 1:1), especially with the Cu n ion, can give rise to mononuclear (Rojo, Vlasse & Beltran, 1983;Allmann, Kremer & Kucharzcyk, 1984) and polynuclear species (Anderson, Packard & Wicholas, 1976;Rojo, Arriortua, Ruiz, Darriet, Villeneuve & Beltran-Porter, 1987). The coordination chemistry of the cyanato anion (NCO)-has already been considered extensively (Norbury, 1975;Kohout, Hvastijova & Gazo, 1978;Kepert, Kucharski & White, 1980). However, less attention has been paid to the study of (cyanato)nickel(II) complexes.…”
