Abstract

The title compound, [Ni(C5H9N)3(CO)], was prepared from Ni(CO)4 and a tenfold excess of tert-butyl isocyanide. It crystallizes with two symmetry-independent mol­ecules per asymmetric unit. The central Ni atom of each independent mol­ecule has a nearly perfect tetra­hedral coordination environment, comprising one carbon monoxide and three isocyanide ligands. The title compound is the first structurally characterized Ni0 compound with a mixed CO/RNC coordination.
