Abstract

Metal-ligand cooperation has emerged as a versatile tool for substrate activation in chemical reactivity. Herein, we provide the synthesis and characterization of a monoboranyl-containing analogue of the ubiquitous bulky diphosphine ligand, 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane, whose reactivity has been examined using nickel. Together, the pairing of nickel and boron provides a platform that allows for the cooperative coordination of organonitriles, giving unusual examples of intermolecularly bound dinickelacycles.

Keywords: boron; ligand design; nickel; phosphorus secondary coordination sphere.
