Synthesis and C-C coupling reactivity of a dinuclear Ni(i)-Ni(i) complex supported by a terphenyl diphosphine.
Mono- and bimetallic complexes of nickel supported by a terphenyl diphosphine have been synthesized. The reported complexes show diverse metal-arene interactions in the solid state. Reactions of an o,o'-biphenyldiyl dinickel complex with CO and dichloroalkanes lead to fluorene derivatives, indicating the formation of carbon-carbon bonds at a bimetallic moiety.
