Metal–Ligand Cooperation as Key in Formation of Dearomatized NiII–H Pincer Complexes and in Their Reactivity toward CO and CO2

Abstract: The unique synthesis and reactivity of [(RPNP*)NiH] complexes (1a,b), based on metal–ligand cooperation (MLC), are presented (RPNP* = deprotonated PNP ligand, R = iPr, tBu). Unexpectedly, the dearomatized complexes 1a,b were obtained by reduction of the dicationic complexes [(RPNP)Ni(MeCN)](BF4)2 with sodium amalgam or by reaction of the free ligand with Ni0(COD)2. Complex 1b reacts with CO via MLC, to give a rare case of a distorted-octahedral PNP-based pincer complex, the Ni(0) complex 3b. Complexes 1a,b als… Show more

“…The ease of preparing these hydrides via oxidative addition (vide supra) starting from Ni(cod) 2 , certainly enhanced the progress that has been made in this area. Similar to CbzC ( R PNP)NiH (compound 13 shown in Scheme ), the nickel complexes 50‐E (E = CH, N), 51 , and 52 (see Scheme ) have all been prepared via this route.…”

“…Pincer ligand systems are well known for their flexibility to modify the electronic and steric properties by replacing the ligand backbone, spacers, donor atom, and substituents (Figure (a)) . Symmetrical PCP or PNP pincer ligand systems have been widely studied (Figure (b) A ) . With either CH 2 or NH spacers, the new mode of metal–ligand cooperation was demonstrated via deprotonation of either the C‐H or N‐H proton .…”
