On the mechanism of the formation of alkyl-Ni(i) catalysts†
Abstract
The formation of catalytically active alkyl-Ni(I) complexes by comproportionation of diorgano-Ni(II) precursors and Ni(0) species proceeds easily through triplet states by alkyl ligand exchange. The process involves inversion of the configuration at the carbon that is transferred.
