[Nickel Complexes]
Nickel complexes are chemical compounds where nickel atoms bond with other molecules, known as ligands. These arrangements influence the metal's properties, such as its reactivity and stability. Nickel complexes are important in various applications, including catalysis for industrial processes, such as manufacturing plastics and fuels, and in electronic devices. They can exhibit different structures and oxidation states, which affect their behavior. Understanding nickel complexes helps chemists develop new materials, improve industrial reactions, and explore potential uses in medicine and technology.
