Aryl bis(imino)acenaphthenes (Ar-BIANs) are well-established rigid and sterically bulky diimine ligands, which are redox-noninnocent and versatile π-acceptors due to their low-lying π* orbitals and are frequently used to bind transition metals. However, the coordination chemistry of Ar-BIAN ligands...
