Synthesis, Structure and Reactivity of Cyclometalated Nickel(II) Complexes: A Review and Perspective

摘要: The importance of cyclometalated Ni(II) complex species assumed in catalytic processes related to C–X or C–H activation and functionalisation e.g. C–C cross coupling reactions stands stark contrast the small number investigations on synthesis, reactivity, electrochemical spectroscopic properties complexes model catalytically relevant species. This review reveals that methods synthesise are rather weakly developed compared with corresponding Pd Pt derivatives. Furthermore, ligands their strongly σ-donating carbanionic functions, chelate effect often good π-accepting also interesting from general viewpoint organometallic coordination chemistry applications beyond catalysis. recently reported [Ni(Phbpy)(R)] Phbpy− = 6-(phenyl-2-ide)-2,2′-bipyridine ligand (R = Br, CH3, CF3) were described detail demonstrate some specific such complexes. Further design might allow very as efficient triplet luminescence. What has been achieved this field Pt(II) Pd(II) be transferred future ideas presented.
