Reaction of a molecular zinc-hydride [{(ArNCMe)CH}ZnH] (Ar=2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) with 0.5 equiv. of [Ni(CO)Cp] led to the isolation of a nickel-zinc hydride complex containing a bridging 3-centre,2-electron Ni-H-Zn interaction. This species has been characterized in the solid-state by single crystal X-ray diffraction. DFT calculations are consistent with its formulation as a σ-complex derived from coordination of the zinc-hydride to a paramagnetic nickel(I) fragment. Continuous-wave and pulse EPR experiments suggest that this species is labile in solution. Further experiments show that in the presence of catalytic quantities of nickel(I) precursors, zinc-hydride bonds can undergo either H/D-exchange with D or dehydrocoupling to form Zn-Zn bonds. In combination, the data support the activation and functionalisation of zinc-hydride bonds at nickel(I) centres.

This paper proposed a multisyringe flow injection analysis (MSFIA) system for antimony, arsenic and selenium determination in peanut samples by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS). The optimization step of the hydride generation was performed using a two-level full factorial design involving the parameters: hydrochloric acid, sodium tetrahydroborate and potassium iodide concentrations. So, using the chemical conditions optimized, this method allows the determination of these elements employing the external calibration technique using aqueous standards with limits of detection and quantification of 0.

Catalytic cycloisomerization of enynes by using a nickel-zinc-acid system.

Chemistry

February 2006

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya City University, Tanabe-dori, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya 467-8603, Japan.

Catalytic cycloisomerization of enynes has been accomplished in the presence of an Ni0-PPh3-Zn-carboxylic acid or -ZnCl2 system. A nickel(I)-hydride complex, thought to be generated by reduction of the protonated nickel(II) complex with Zn, is proposed as the catalytic species. This cycloisomerization shows reactivity behavior that is different from that of a conventional metal-catalyzed reaction.
