High-valent nickel complexes have recently gained attention for their ability to participate in challenging bond-forming reactions including C-N, C-O, C-F, and C-CF3. Despite this interest, there are limited examples of ligand scaffolds that are able to sufficiently stabilize these highly reactive species. We have recently identified aminoquinoline derived ligands as platforms for isolating NiIII complexes. The present work focuses on our efforts towards isolating NiIV complexes in these systems. These studies are of fundamental interest in understanding the feasibility and bond-forming capabilities of NiIV centers bearing pincer-type ligands.
