title: Carbon-Carbon Bond-Forming Reductive Elimination from Isolated Nickel(III) Complexes.
abstract: This manuscript describes the design, synthesis, characterization, and reactivity studies of organometallic NiIIIcomplexes of general structure TpNiIII(R)(R1) (Tp = tris(pyrazolyl)borate). With appropriate selection of the R and R1ligands, the complexes are stable at room temperature and can be characterized by cyclic voltammetry, EPR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Upon heating, many of these NiIIIcompounds undergo C(sp2)-C(sp2) or C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond-forming reactions that are challenging at lower oxidation states of nickel.
