Organometallic Ni(III) intermediates have been proposed in several Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, yet no isolated bis(hydrocarbyl)Ni(III) complexes have been reported to date. Herein we report the synthesis and detailed characterization of stable organometallic Ni(III) complexes that contain two trifluoromethyl ligands and are supported by tetradentate N-donor ligands (R)N4 (R = Me or tBu). Interestingly, the corresponding Ni(II) precursors undergo facile oxidation, including aerobic oxidation, to generate uncommonly stable organometallic Ni(III) complexes that exhibit limited reactivity.

Mechanism of Ni-Catalyzed Photochemical Halogen Atom-Mediated C(sp)-H Arylation.

Within the context of Ni photoredox catalysis, halogen atom photoelimination from Ni has emerged as a fruitful strategy for enabling hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-mediated C(sp)-H functionalization. Despite the numerous synthetic transformations invoking this paradigm, a unified mechanistic hypothesis that is consistent with experimental findings on the catalytic systems and accounts for halogen radical formation and facile C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation remains elusive. We employ kinetic analysis, organometallic synthesis, and computational investigations to decipher the mechanism of a prototypical Ni-catalyzed photochemical C(sp)-H arylation reaction.

The interaction of tetramethylammonium acetate with [(MeCN)Ni(CF)], [(MeCN)Ni(CF)], and [NMe][(MeCN)Ni(CF)] was explored by F NMR spectroscopy. We show that depending on the nature of the nickel complex, one or two acetate ligands can add to the metal center and replace the nickel-bound MeCN ligands, depending on the acetate concentration. The number of acetates that could bind to nickel, and whether the resulting complex exists as a monomer or dimer, was determined to be dependent on the nature of the fluoroalkyl ligand.

ConspectusThe development of functionalization reactions involving the activation of C-H bonds has evolved extensively due to the atom and step economy associated with such reactions. Among these reactions, chelation assistance has been shown to provide a powerful solution to the serious issues of reactivity and regioselectivity faced in the activation of C-H bonds. The vast majority of C-H functionalization reactions reported thus far has involved the use of precious metals.

Significant progress has been made in the bioinorganic modeling of the paramagnetic states believed to be involved in the hydrogen redox chemistry catalyzed by [NiFe] hydrogenase. However, the characterization and isolation of intermediates involved in mononuclear Ni electrocatalysts which are reported to operate through a Ni cycle have largely remained elusive. Herein, we report a Ni complex (NCHS2)Ni(OTf)2, where NCHS2 is 3,7-dithia-1(2,6)-pyridina-5(1,3)-benzenacyclooctaphane, that is an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with turnover frequencies of ~3,000 s and a overpotential of 670 mV in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid.

The oxidative addition of aryl halides to bipyridine- or phenanthroline-ligated nickel(I) is a commonly proposed step in nickel catalysis. However, there is a scarcity of complexes of this type that both are well-defined and undergo oxidative addition with aryl halides, hampering organometallic studies of this process. We report the synthesis of a well-defined Ni(I) complex, [(bpy)NiCl] ().
