The reaction of a nickel(II) chloride complex containing a tridentate β‐diketiminato ligand with a picolyl group [2,6‐iPr2‐C6H3NC(Me)CHC(Me)NH(CH2py)]Ni(II)Cl (1)] with KSi(SiMe3)3 conveniently afforded a nickel(I) radical with a T‐shaped geometry (2). The compound‘s metalloradical nature was confirmed through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)...
