title: "(Diphosphine)Nickel"-catalyzed negishi cross-coupling: an experimental and theoretical study.
abstract: The use of a strongly donating "(bis-dialkylphosphine)Ni" fragment promotes the catalytic coupling of a large range of ArCl and ArZnCl derivatives under mild conditions. Stoichiometric mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations prove that a Ni(0) /Ni(II) cycle is operative in this system.
