A T-Shaped Nickel(I) Metalloradical Species.

Published in: Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) (2017)

A T-shaped NiI complex was synthesized using a rigid acridane-based pincer ligand to prepare a metalloradical center. Structural data displays a nickel ion is embedded in the plane of a PNP ligand. Having a sterically exposed half-filled dx2-y2 orbital, this three-coordinate NiI species reveals unique open-shell reactivity including the homolytic cleavage of various σ-bonds, such as H-H, N-N, and C-C.
