Compared to the chemistry of palladium, iridium, ruthenium, cobalt and iron, nickel complexes bearing a HN(CH2CH2PR2)2 ligand are relatively unexplored. A series of these nickel complexes were thus synthesized. Protonation of nickel-bromide, nickel-phenyl, nickel-methyl and nickel-hydride complexes were studied under various reaction conditions. Oxidation and catalytic activities of nickel-bromide complex supported by [N(CH2CH2PiPr2)2]- ligand were also investigated. Stoichiometric studies of cationic nickel-hydride complexes were carried out as well to explore their potential in catalysis.
