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 NiC bond is shorter than the NiO 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.
