Ni has outer-most electronic configuration of 4s2 3d8. The hybridisation for octahedral complex is sp2d3.For low spin octahedral complexes the hybradisation is d2sp3.There are two cases in which nickle forms octahedral complexes.First case: when the ligand is weak then there is no pairing up of electrons in the d-orbital, hence there is no d-orbital for acquiring the d2sp3 hybradisation. Hence, low spin complexes are not formed.Second case:when the ligand is strong there is a pairing up of electrons.but there is only one vacant d-orbital available for hybradisation. So, here also d2sp3 hybradisation is not formed.hence low spin octahedral complex is not formed.Thus, one can concluded that nickel doesn't form low spin octahedral complexes.
