The liberation of IDA ligands from heteroleptic complexes of 3, [Ni(tBuDPA)(IDA)], is investigated using acids. The direct liberation of IDA from 3 is performed by the stoichiometric addition of HCl which also yields a Ni(tBuDPA) dimer. Incomplete acid addition yields bis-IDA nickel complexes 4, [Ni(IDA)2]. The synthesis and characterization of exemplary complexes of 4 and free IDA ligands is reported.
