Awesome, confusing, interesting, frustrating, and exciting. Never a dull moment!

Exactly. As @bnadeau.bsky.social pointed out in his PhD defence (viva) on Monday!

Is it too much to ask for diamagnetic species though?

Nickel is literally named after a demon and knows it.

Sometimes they can be diamagnetic. Sometimes.

I've had a diamagnetic Ni(0) complex.
Nickel is weird. In other words, nerdy fun.

I meant square planar. Which is weird.
Diamagnetic, duh.

I genuinely thought you were making a joke about only d10 nickel complexes reliably being diamagnetic!
We've recently been making a LOT of square planar nickel(0) complexes with all sorts of ligands ... Hoping to get a paper out on this in early 2025.

I look forward to your reading work! We has a LOT of scepticism from reviewers, but the experimental and computational data all said square planar. (With a fluxional ligand)
