This article describes a detailed comparison of the organometallic chemistry of high-valent nickel and palladium model complexes supported by tris(pyrazolyl)borate and cycloneophyl ligands. The accessibility of the M-III and M-IV oxidation states with each metal is investigated through electrochemical and chemical oxidation of the M-II precursors. These studies show that the Ni-II precursor readily undergoes both one- and two-electron oxidations to generate stable Ni-III and Ni-IV products. In contrast, under the conditions examined, the Pd-II analogue undergoes exclusively two-electron-oxidation reactions to form Pd-IV. Reactivity studies of isolated Ni-IV and Pd-IV complexes show that both participate in C(sp(3))-heteroatom coupling reactions and that the reactions at Ni-IV are approximately 2 orders of magnitude faster than those at Pd-IV. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies implicate outer-sphere S(N)2-type pathways for these processes. With most nucleophiles (e.g., phenoxide, acetate, thiophenoxide), the C(sp(3))-heteroatom coupling reaction yields a TpM(II)(sigma-aryl) product. However, with azide as the nucleophile, the Ni-II product of initial C(sp(3))-N-3 coupling undergoes a subsequent C(sp(2))-N insertion reaction. Computations implicate an anionic Ni-III-nitrene intermediate in this process and show that the Pd analogue of this species is a much higher energy species. Overall, the combined experimental and computational studies demonstrate remarkable similarities in the chemistry of Ni-IV and Pd-IV but an enhanced role for Ni-III in enabling reactivity which is distinct from that of palladium.
