Do predictions based on crystal structure data hold for conformers in solution? This question was asked in studies of the NiII model complexes rac-1–rac-3 by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. The result—drastically different distributions of conformers in solution and in the solid state—may contribute to the current understanding of the mechanism of action of the nickel-containing enzyme methyl-coenzyme-M reductase.
