Abstract

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2018. Computational investigations of the reactions of [Ni(NHC)2] complexes with aryl halides show that the outcomes are governed by the steric impact of the ligand (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). Small ligands permit facile oxidative addition, leading to NiII complexes, while larger NHC ligands prevent coordination of the aryl halide and favour the halide abstraction to form NiI.
