We use a ligand design strategy to isolate a cyclometalated nickel(IV) complex that is directly analogous to a key intermediate proposed in aminoquinoline-directed C-H functionalization catalysis. This nickel(IV) complex is formed by oxidative addition of a diaryliodonium reagent to an anionic nickel(II)-picolinate precursor. The nickel(IV) σ-aryl complex is stable at room temperature but undergoes C(sp)-C(sp) bond-forming reductive elimination under mild conditions (70 °C, 120 min). Overall, this study demonstrates the accessibility of long-sought-after nickel(IV) intermediates in C-H functionalization catalysis. Furthermore, it demonstrates that LX-type (bidentate, mono-anionic) ligands such as picolinate dramatically stabilize these nickel(IV) species.

The treatment of pyridine- and pyrazole-ligated Ni σ-aryl complexes with Selectfluor results in C(sp)-F bond formation under mild conditions. With appropriate design of supporting ligands, diamagnetic Ni σ-aryl fluoride intermediates can be detected spectroscopically and/or isolated during these transformations. These studies demonstrate for the first time that Ni σ-aryl fluoride complexes participate in challenging C(sp)-F bond-forming reductive elimination to yield aryl fluoride products.

A nickel(ii) complex, Ni(HPS2) (1) that contains two pendant thiols, is rapidly aerobically oxidized in the presence of an amine to produce a diamagnetic nickel(iv) complex, Ni(PS2) (2). This process was investigated spectroscopically at a temperature of -80 °C. Absorption spectra revealed that the deprotonation of one pendant thiol of 1 triggers an oxidative cascade; EPR findings indicate that single-spin species comprised of nickel(iii) intermediates are produced in the reaction solution.

The robust, high-valent Ni complex [(Py) Ni F (CF ) ] (Py=pyridine) was synthesized and fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis. It reacts with aromatic compounds at 25 °C to form the corresponding benzotrifluorides in nearly quantitative yield. The monomeric and dimeric Ni CF complexes 2⋅Py and 2 were identified as key intermediates, and their structures were unambiguously determined by EPR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are experiencing a dramatic resurgence in recent years given their ability to employ a wider range of electrophiles as well as promote stereospecific or stereoselective transformations. In contrast to the extensively studied Pd catalysts that generally employ diamagnetic intermediates, Ni systems can more easily access various oxidation states including odd-electron configurations. For example, organometallic Ni intermediates with aryl and/or alkyl ligands are commonly proposed as the active intermediates in cross-coupling reactions.
