Synthesis, Reactivity, and Bonding Analysis of a Tetracoordinated Nickel Carbene
(2024) Pablo M. Pérez García; María L. G. Sansores‐Paredes; Célia Fonseca Guerra; Pascal Vermeeren; Marc‐Etienne Moret
Nickel carbenes are key reactive intermediates in the catalytic cyclopropanation of olefins and other reactions, but isolated examples are scarce and generally rely on low coordination numbers (≤ 3) to stabilize the metal–ligand multiple bond. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a stable tetracoordinated nickel carbene bearing a triphosphine pincer ligand. Its nucleophilic character is evidenced by reaction with acids, and it can transfer the carbene fragment to CO to form a ketene. A computational study of the Ni=C chemical bond sheds light on the role of the third phosphine in the pincer framework to the stabilization of the nickel carbene fragment.
