Abstract
An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand supports a stable [Ni2H]+ core, formally dinickel(I). This diamagnetic cation complex features a bent hydride bridge and a Ni···Ni distance, 2.9926(5) Å, larger than two covalent radii. The cation displays weakly protic character, undergoing deprotonation by strong base to form the corresponding (NHC)nickel(0) dimer. Its reaction with aliphatic nitriles results in C–CN bond cleavage. The organic products of this reaction suggest that this bond-breaking step involves reactive nickel alkyl intermediates and occurs reversibly.
期刊介绍：
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
