Ni(II) information

[Genevieve Gasmi]

Hello,

	I am studying the complexation of a peptide with nickel Ni(II). Is there anybody who knows the Van der Waals radius of Ni(II). I need to introduce this data to calculate (embed-dgsa) my structures. Ni(II) is binding 4 nitrogens (1sp3 and 3 sp2) in a square-planar conformation.

	Thank you in advance,

Genevieve
