title: Insertion of zerovalent nickel into the N-N bond of N-heterocyclic-carbene-activated N2O.
abstract: Metal-mediated cleavage of the N-N bond is a rarely observed phenomenon in the chemistry of nitrous oxide (N2O). We demonstrate that, upon activation of N2O with N-heterocyclic carbenes, zerovalent nickel is able to insert into the N-N bond to give nitrosyl complexes.
