%X The equilibrium constant for trimerization of bis(2,6-dimethylheptane-3,5-dionato)nicke1(11) in benzene solution at 30ºC has been determined spectrophotometrically, K = 2 x 103 I2 mol-1; the heat of trimerization has been determined calorimetrically, &#916;H = -7 kJ (g-atom Ni)1. Thermo- dynamic data have also been obtained for the base addition reactions with pyridine leading to first Ni2L4(py) then NiL2(py)2. Results are compared with those previously obtained for other nickel(11) &#946;-diketone complexes.
