Disproportionation and comproportionation reactions have become increasingly important
electron transfer events in organometallic chemistry and catalysis. The renewed interest in …

Conspectus Nickel excels at facilitating selective radical chemistry, playing a pivotal role in
metalloenzyme catalysis and modern cross-coupling reactions. Radicals, being nonpolar …

Mechanistic investigations of the Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive alkenylation of N-
hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) esters and benzylic chlorides are reported. Investigations of the …

Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions of aryl and alkyl electrophiles are appealing but
limited to specific substrate classes. Here, we report electroreductive XEC of previously …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

While the oxidative addition of Ni (I) to aryl iodides has been commonly proposed in catalytic
methods, an in-depth mechanistic understanding of this fundamental process is still lacking …

The capture of carbon-centered radicals at a nickel (II) center is commonly featured in recent
cross-coupling and metallaphotoredox catalytic reactions. Despite its widespread …

The oxidative addition of aryl halides to bipyridine-or phenanthroline-ligated nickel (I) is a
commonly proposed step in nickel catalysis. However, there is a scarcity of complexes of this …

The recent success of nickel catalysts in stereoconvergent cross-coupling and cross-
electrophile coupling reactions partly stems from the ability of monovalent nickel species to …

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions often employ bidentate π-acceptor N-ligands to
facilitate radical pathways. This report presents the synthesis and characterization of a …
