Reaction of [(IPr)Ni(μ-Cl)]2 (1-Cl; IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) with ClMg{CH(SiMe3)2}·Et2O affords (IPr)Ni{CH(SiMe3)2} (2), a two-coordinate Ni(I) alkyl complex. An analogous two-coordinate aryl derivative, (IPr)Ni(dmp) (dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl), can be similarly prepared from Li(dmp) and 1-Cl. Reaction of 2 with alkyl bromides gives the three-coordinate Ni(II) alkyl halide complex (IPr)Ni{CH(SiMe3)2}Br. Evidence for a radical mechanism is presented to explain the reaction of 2 with alkyl halides.

We report a new series of homoleptic Ni(I) bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with a range of torsion angles between the two ligands from 68° to 90°. Electron paramagnetic resonance measurements revealed a strongly anisotropic -tensor in all complexes with a small variation in ∼ 5.7-5.

The synthesis and reactivity of the first open-shell two-coordinate silyl complex, (IPr)Ni-Si(SiMe), (IPr = 1,3-di(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) is reported. Reaction with CO results in a novel insertion product that possesses a distorted geometry. Oxidations of the Ni center, with [CpFe][B(CF)] and PhCCl, result in migratory rearrangements of the silyl ligand, apparently via related silylene intermediates.

The recently published purely metallo-organic Ni salt [Ni(cod) ][Al(OR ) ] (1, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, R =C(CF ) ) provides a starting point for a new synthesis strategy leading to Ni phosphine complexes, replacing cod ligands by phosphines. Clearly visible colour changes indicate reactions within minutes, while quantum chemical calculations (PBE0-D3(BJ)/def2-TZVPP) approve exergonic reaction enthalpies in all performed ligand exchange reactions. Hence, [Ni(dppp) ][Al(OR ) ] (2, dppp=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane), [Ni(dppe) ][Al(OR ) ] (3, dppe=1,3-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane), three-coordinate [Ni(PPh ) ][Al(OR ) ] (4) and a remarkable two-coordinate Ni phosphine complex [Ni(PtBu ) ][Al(OR ) ] (5) were characterised by single crystal X-ray structure analysis.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to study the oxidative addition of aryl halides to complexes of the type [Ni(PMe Ph ) ], revealing the crucial role of an open-shell singlet transition state for halide abstraction. The formation of Ni versus Ni has been rationalised through the study of three different pathways: (i) halide abstraction by [Ni(PMe Ph ) ], via an open-shell singlet transition state; (ii) S 2-type oxidative addition to [Ni(PMe Ph ) ], followed by phosphine dissociation; and (iii) oxidative addition to [Ni(PMe Ph ) ]. For the overall reaction between [Ni(PMe ) ], PhCl, and PhI, a microkinetic model was used to show that our results are consistent with the experimentally observed ratios of Ni and Ni when the PEt complex is used.

Amidate-supported two- and three-coordinate Ni complexes were synthesized by reduction of the corresponding Ni precursors. A dramatic change in binding mode is observed upon reduction from Ni to Ni . The Ni derivatives include an unprecedented Ni bis(C-H) agostic complex and a two-coordinate Ni complex.
