Bis(carbene)borate ligand transfer to the nickel nitrosyl synthon Ni(NO)(PPh3)2Br provides the new nickel nitrosyl complex Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni(NO)(PPh3). The solid state structure reveals a trigonal pyramidal nickel ion with a very long bond to the apical PPh3ligand. The complex reversibly dissociates PPh3in solution to afford three-coordinate Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni(NO), with NMR data providing evidence for PPh3binding at low temperatures. Ligand transfer to Ni(PMe3)2Cl2provides the square planar complex, Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni(PMe3)Cl, which shows no evidence for rearranging to the form a homoleptic complex with two bis(carbene)borate ligands. This complex is a suitable synthon for the [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni]+fragment, as demonstrated by the synthesis of the π-allyl complex Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni(η3-C7H7). The π-allyl complex reacts with O2to provide benzaldehyde and an unstable complex that is tentatively identified as the nickel(II) hydroxide [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Ni(μ-OH)]2.
