The nickel(ii)-chloranilato complex {Ni(ca)(VM)(2)}(n) (H(2)ca = chloranilic acid, VM = coordinated vapour molecules, such as water) shows reversible vapochromism upon exposure to various vapours and subsequent drying by heating. In contrast to the Ni(ii)-quinonoid complex, [Ni(HLMe)(2)] (H2LMe = 4-methylamino-6-methyliminio-3-oxocyclohexa-1,4-dien-1-olate), which was reported to exhibit vapochromic spin-state switching between high and low spin states, the chloranilato complex does not change its spin state even after the removal of coordinated vapour molecules. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis revealed that the six-coordinate geometry of {Ni(ca)(VM)(2)}(n) was maintained even after the removal of vapour molecules, in contrast to the [Ni(HLMe)(2)] complex. The unique vapochromism that follows the dimensional change between 1D and higher is influenced by the relatively weaker ligand field of the chloranilate ligand.
