DFT studies show that [Ni(NHC)2] complexes with large ligands disfavour oxidative addition and instead react with aryl halides via halide abstraction.

The oxidative addition of aryl halides to bipyridine- or phenanthroline-ligated nickel(I) is a commonly proposed step in nickel catalysis. However, there is a scarcity of complexes of this type that both are well-defined and undergo oxidative addition with aryl halides, hampering organometallic studies of this process. We report the synthesis of a well-defined Ni(I) complex, [(CO2Etbpy)NiCl]4 (1). Its solution-phase speciation is characterized by a significant population of monomer and a redox equilibrium that can be perturbed by π-acceptors and σ-donors. 1 reacts readily with aryl bromides, and mechanistic studies are consistent with a mechanism proceeding through an initial Ni(I) → Ni(III) oxidative addition. Such a process was demonstrated stoichiometrically for the first time, affording a structurally characterized Ni(III) aryl complex.

We show that the energetically-favorable coordination of aldehydes and ketones – but not esters – to nickel(0) during Suzuki-Miyaura reactions can lead either to exquisite selectivity and enhanced reactivity, or to the inhibition<br>of the reaction. Aryl halides where the C-X bond is connected to the same π-system as an aldehyde or ketone functional<br>group undergo unexpectedly rapid oxidative addition, and are selectively cross-coupled during inter- and intramolecular<br>competition reactions. When aldehydes and ketones are present elsewhere, such as in the form of exogenous additives,<br>the cross-coupling reaction is inhibited depending on how strongly the pendant carbonyl group can coordinate to nickel(0). This work advances our understanding of how common functional groups interact with nickel(0) catalysts, and presents synthetic chemists with a tool that can be used to achieve site-selectivity in functionalized molecules. <br>
