Useful Method for the Preparation of Low-Coordinate Nickel(I) Complexes via Transformations of the Ni(I) Bis(amido) Complex K{Ni[N(SiMe₃)(2,6- ⁱ Pr₂-C₆H₃)]₂}

ABSTRACT: A convenient method of preparing two- and three-coordinate Ni(I) complexes of the form L-Ni^I-X (L = P ^t Bu₃, P ⁱ Pr₃, DPPE, NHC; X = -N(SiMe₃)(2,6- ⁱ Pr-C₆H₃), -O(2,6- ^t Bu₂-4-Me-C₆H₂)) is reported. Protonation of the easily prepared anionic Ni(I) bis(amido) complex K{Ni[N(SiMe₃)(2,6- ⁱ Pr-C₆H₃)]₂} in the presence of an appropriate L-type ligand results in loss of HN(SiMe₃)(2,6- ⁱ Pr-C₆H₃) and trapping of the resulting neutral Ni(I)-amido fragment to yield neutral, paramagnetic, two- and three-coordinate Ni(I)
