Related but different : The thermal activation of methane by cationic nickel complexes depends crucially on the nature of ligands and the formal oxidation state of the metal, as is illustrated by the isomeric water complexes: whereas [Ni(H 2 O)] + is unreactive, the Ni III isomer [Ni(H)(OH)] + activates the CH bond in methane.
