Preparation of four dimeric nickel(II) complexes and three monomeric palladium(II) complexes bearing didentate pyridinylimine ligands is described. The solid-state structures of these compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. After activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO) th...
