The title complex 1 containing ethene and formaldehyde can be obtained in up to 35% yield in the form of orange-red crystals that are stable up to −15°C by reaction of tris(ethene)nickel, paraformaldehyde, and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). Unlike formaldehyde complexes of strongly oxophilic metals, in 1 the Ni-C bond is shorter than the Ni-O bond (1.936(2) and 1.966(1) Å, resp.). 1 is of interest as a model compound for intermediates of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
