title: Influence of the coordination mode in [Ni{RC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)2}2] for the formation of nickel-containing nanoparticles.
abstract: The complex [Ni{2-PyNHC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)(2)-1,5,7-N,N',S}(2)] ([NiL(I)(2)]) dissolved in tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP) is decomposed in hot hexadecylamine (HDA) to give TOP-capped Ni nanoparticles. The same procedure using [Ni{2-MeC(6)H(4)NHC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)(2)}(2)-1,3-N,S] ([NiL(II)(2)]) and [Ni{PhC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)(2)-1,5-S,S'}(2)] ([NiL(III)(2)]) leads to the formation of NiS nanoparticles with the rhombohedral and hexagonal structures, respectively. NiH(x) nanoparticles were also produced from a mixture of [NiL(I)(2)] and N(2)H(4). The obtained Ni nanoparticles can be used for the catalytic addition of Ph(2)S(2) to 1-, 2- and 3-hexynes.
