Abstract

A bidentate monoanionic NHC-CAryl ligand framework was synthesized, and a host of Ni(II) complexes were prepared. Addition of isocyanides to these complexes led to the formation of NHC-n2-iminoacyl nickel complexes. These complexes were characterized by a suite of spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray crystallography. The n2-iminoacyl was shown to be displaced from the nickel center with oxidant and could then be reattached with reductant.
