The nickel(0) complex [Ni(iPrPN)(COD)] (iPrPN = 2-[(N-diisopropylphosphino)methylamino]pyridine, COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) was an efficient precatalyst for the hydrodefluorination of partially fluorinated pyridines employing pinacolborane (HBPin).
The synthesis and characterization of NHC-ligated nickel(II) cyanoborate (CB) complexes and salts is reported. The diverse character of CBs as weakly to medium coordinating anions is demonstrated, which dependents on the nature of the CB and the NHC.
Experimental and theoretical investigations were conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of light-driven Ni-catalyzed arylation of carboxylates.
We developed catalytic cyclization of 1,6-enynes, whereby an aryl group is introduced at an unactivated alkene moiety.
This review summarizes seven types of new reactivities found in late 3d metal complexes and catalytic examples in recent years.
