| Abstract: | Reactions of π-Organonickel Complexes with Tertiary Phosphanes In a hexane solution Ni(C5H5)2 reacts with PBu3 or Ph2PBu forming the nickel(O) complexes Ni(PBu3)4 or Ni(Ph2PBu)4 (A). Under the same conditions only one cyclopentadienyl ligand is substituted by PhPBu2 and the nickel(I) compound (C5H5)Ni (PhPBu2)2 (B) is obtained. Products of the reactions between B and α,α′-dipyridyl, hydrogen chlorid in ether, or Ni(PhPBu2),Cl2 are Ni(dipy)2, [PhPHBu2]2[NiCl4], or (C5H5) Ni(PhPBu2)2Cl. By the reaction with HgCl2 a cyclopentadienyl compound of an unknown structur is formed. The compound Ni(PhPBu2)4 which is analogous to A is synthesized by the reduction of bis(acety1acetonato)-nickel with Et2AlOEt in the presence of PhPBu2 or by the reaction of bis (cyclooctadiene-1,5)-nickel with PhPBu2. |
