A series of dialkyl (dipyridyl) nickel complexes R2Ni (dipy)(1, R= CH3, C2H5, h-C3H5, or z'-C4Ho) was prepared. The thermal stability of 1 decreases in the order CH3> C2H5> C3H7> C4H9. Thermal decomposition of 1 is first order with respect to 1, and the activation energy for pyrolysis of (C2H5) 2Ni (dipy) is68 kcal/mol. Reactions of 1 with olefins (tetracyanoethylene, maleic anhydride, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrolein, methyl vinyl ketone, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, 2-vinylpyridine, styrene, isobutyl vinyl ether, ethylene, norbornene, and cyclooctadiene) at room temperature led in most cases to cleavage of the R-Ni bond and to formation of olefin-coordinated complexes of the type Ni (dipy)(olefin)„(3,= 1 or 2). The R-Ni bonds are activated through coordination of the olefins to 1; with acrylonitrile and acrolein the com-plexes R2Ni (dipy)(olefin)(2) were isolated as unstable intermediates. From infrared and electronic spectroscopy, the coordinated olefins in 2 and 3 appear to be x bonded. Based on a kinetic study of the reactions of 1 with olefins at room temperature a mechanism involving the formation of 2 as an intermediate is proposed. Olefins with electro-negative substituents form stronger x complexes with 1 and activate the Ni-R bonds more strongly than those with less electronegative substituents. The observation of charge-transfer bands in the complexes allows estimation of the energy levels of the highest occupied d orbitals and a study of the effect of solvent and olefin coordination to the metal. A mechanism for the activation of Ni-R bonds by interaction of 1 with olefins is proposed.
