The synthesis of the tris chelates Ni/sup III/(RQ)/sub 3/ by electrooxidation of Ni/sup II/(RQ)/sub 3/- (HRQ = quinone monoximes) is reported. These complexes have afforded a unique opportunity for voltammetric and spectroscopic examination of geometric isomerism and isomer preferences of the two oxidation states of nickel in a N/sub 2/O/sub 3/ environment. A redox-driven ligand redistribution reaction that furnishes Ni(RQ)/sub 3/ following electrooxidation of Ni/sup II/(RQ)/sub 3/(N,N) to Ni/sup III/(RQ)/sub 2/(N,N)/sup +/, where N,N represents amine coordination is reported. The effects of geometric structure, substituents, and ligands on the Ni(III)-Ni(II) reduction potential in Ni(RQ)/sub 3/ and Ni(RQ)/sub 2/(N,N)/sup +/ are noted. 29 references, 5 figures, 4 tables.
