A Structurally Rigid Bis(amido) Ligand Framework in Low-Coordinate Ni(Ⅰ), Ni(Ⅱ), and Ni(Ⅲ) Analogues Provides Access to a Ni(Ⅲ) Methyl Complex via Oxidative Addition

摘要

A structurally persistent bis-amido ligand framework capable of supporting nickel compounds in three different oxidation states has been identified. A highly unusual, isolable Ni(Ⅲ) alkyl species has been prepared and characterized via a rare example of a two-electron oxidative addition of Mel to Ni(Ⅰ).
