Ni2+ can form tetrahedral and square planar complexes having a formula of NiX2L2, where X is Br or CN and L is the monodentate ligand triphenylphosphine (PPh3). Give the possible structures for each NiX2L2 complex and identify which will have a net dipole moment, considering that NiBr2L2 is paramagnetic and Ni(CN)2L2 is diamagnetic.
