Abstract Nickel(0)-olefine π-complexes such as Ni(C2H4)3 and Ni(C2H4)(PR3)2 [6] prepared by conventional ligand replacement reaction are diamagnetic and stable up to room temperature. Similar π-complexes e.g. Ni(C2H4) n (withn = 1, 2 or 3) generated by cryo-condensation technique [3] may exist in a paramagnetic state which derives from the triplet ground state of the atomic nickel. The stability of (η2-ethylene) nickel has been explained byab initio-MO calculations relating the energies of the complexes to different terms (1 S and3 F) of the nickel atom.
