A critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the amount of active catalyst. This Review is a comprehensive overview of reactions catalyzed by nickel and an added bidentate phosphine, focusing on the steps transforming the combination of precatalyst and ligand into an active catalyst and the potential effects of this transformation on nickel catalysis. Reactions covered include common cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki, Heck, Kumada, and Negishi couplings, addition reactions, cycloadditions, C-H functionalizations, polymerizations, hydrogenations, and reductive couplings, among others. Overall, the most widely used nickel precatalyst with free bidentate phosphines is Ni(cod), which accounts for ∼50% of the reports surveyed, distantly followed by Ni(acac) and Ni(OAc), which account for ∼10% each. By compiling the reports of these reactions, we have calculated statistics of the usage and efficacy of each ligand with Ni(cod) and other nickel sources. The most common bidentate phosphines are simple, relatively inexpensive ligands, such as DPPE, DCPE, DPPP, and DPPB, along with others with more complex backbones, such as DPPF and Xantphos. The use of expensive chiral phosphines is more scattered, but the most common ligands include BINAP, Me-Duphos, Josiphos, and related analogs.

Thioether-NHC bidentate manganese complexes as efficient phosphine-free catalysts for hydrogenation at room temperature.
Chem Commun (Camb)

University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS), Strasbourg, France.
A series of four original phosphine-free thioether-NHC manganese complexes have been synthesised and fully characterized. These complexes have been applied as efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of alkenes and ketones at room temperature, with low catalyst loadings (TON up to 900).

Even though α-arylation of ketones is attractive for direct C-H functionalization of organic substrates, the method largely relies on phosphine-ligated palladium complexes. Only recently, efforts have focused on developing nitrogen-based ligands as a more sustainable alternative to phosphines, with pyridine-functionalized pyridinium amidate (pyr-PYA) ,'-bidentate ligands displaying good selectivity and activity. Here, we report on a second generation set of catalyst precursors that feature a 5-membered N-heterocycle instead of a pyridine as chelating unit of the PYA ligand to provide less steric congestion for the rate-limiting transmetalation of the enolate.

The desorption of conventional ligands from the surface of halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) often causes their structural instability and deterioration of the optoelectronic properties. To address this challenge, we present an approach of using a bidentate Lewis base ligand, namely, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (DBPP), for the synthesis of CsPbBr NCs. The phosphine group of DBPP has a strong interaction with the PbBr precursor, forming a highly crystalline intermediate complex during the reaction.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the synthesis of palladacycles (both dinuclear and mononuclear) using halide-substituted Schiff base ligands, which involve C-H activation when treated with palladium(II) compounds.
- Dinuclear complexes formed through metathesis with sodium chloride are converted into μ-chloride dinuclear complexes, which then react with phosphines to yield various phosphine derivatives.
- The synthesized compounds were characterized using techniques like microanalysis, spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, and their efficacy as pre-catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was evaluated, highlighting the best-performing complexes.
Supramolecular bidentate rhodium(I) or iridium(I) phosphine and oxazoline amino acid bioconjugates as selective catalysts for enantioselective reactions.

This publication describes monodentate phosphine and oxazoline ligands attached to an amino acid ester and the application of their supramolecularly assembled rhodium(I) or iridium(I) complexes in asymmetric catalysis. The major feature of these complexes is the transmission of chirality from distant hydrogen bonded amino acids to the prochiral catalytic metal center ("backdoor induction"). The generated homoleptic and heteroleptic rhodium(I) or iridium(I) precatalysts were studied by NMR, UV-VIS and CD spectroscopy as well as X-ray single crystal diffraction.
