title: Cross-coupling of ArX with ArMgBr catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene-based nickel complexes.
abstract: N-Heterocyclic carbene-based pincer nickel complexes were synthesized and characterized. These complexes efficiently catalyze cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with aryl chlorides or fluorides under mild conditions.
