The square-planar complexes (11a, 12) and octahedral 16 have been characterised by X-ray diffraction studies, together with octahedral cis-[Ni{(mim)2CO}2Br(OH2)]Br.CD3CN (14) and cis-[Ni{(mim)2CO}2(OH2)2]Br2.3CD3CN (15). Preliminary catalytic studies have been undertaken with a number of the nickel complexes. Complexes 11–13 form single component catalysts for the oligomerization or polymerization of ethylene and the
bromo-complexes (7–9) form active catalysts for the oligomerization or polymerization of ethylene when activated with MMAO." name="eprints.abstract" />

The square-planar complexes (11a, 12) and octahedral 16 have been characterised by X-ray diffraction studies, together with octahedral cis-[Ni{(mim)2CO}2Br(OH2)]Br.CD3CN (14) and cis-[Ni{(mim)2CO}2(OH2)2]Br2.3CD3CN (15). Preliminary catalytic studies have been undertaken with a number of the nickel complexes. Complexes 11–13 form single component catalysts for the oligomerization or polymerization of ethylene and the
bromo-complexes (7–9) form active catalysts for the oligomerization or polymerization of ethylene when activated with MMAO.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The definitive version is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com
