| Abstract: | We report the solvent-assisted mechanochemically synthesised mononuclear Ni(II) borohydride complex supported by a macrocyclic tetradentate ligand. It was characterised as stable high-spin [(LMe)Ni(η2-BH4)]+ cation in solid-state and in solution by various physicochemical methods and capable of transferring hydride. The stoichiometric reactivity of [(LMe)Ni(η2-BH4)]+ cation was examined with trityl cation, alkyl halide, disulphide, thiol, carboxylic acid and enol at room temperature. |
