In this HOT article, Babashkina and co-workers have synthesized the first examples of NiII complexes containing the same asymmetric NTT [(N-(thio)phosphorylated thioamides and thioureas RC(S)NHP(X)(OR0)2 (X ¼ O, S)] ligand featuring an aryl-NH substituent at the thiocarbonyl group and coordinating to the metal both in the 1,3-N,S- and 1,5-S,S’-fashion in the solid state depending on the crystallization conditions.
