diphosphine-borane ligands ArB (o-Ph2PC6H4) 2 ([ArDPBPh]; Ar= Ph, Mes). The [ArDPBPh]
framework supports pseudo-tetrahedral nickel complexes featuring η2-B, C coordination
from the ligand backbone. For the B-phenyl derivative, the THF adduct [PhDPBPh] Ni (THF)
has been characterized by X-ray diffraction and features a very short interaction between
nickel and the η2-B, C ligand. For the B-mesityl derivative, the reduced nickel complex …
