ABSTRACT
The carbonylation of a nickel(II) anilido species 2 led to the formation of a dinickel(0)-CO complex (P2 P-PP2 ){Ni(CO)}2 3 with a P-P bond along with isocyanate generation. In this reaction, the central phosphide moiety of an anionic PPP ligand (PPP- =- P[2-Pi Pr2 C6 H4 ]2 ) acts as a single-electron donor to form a P radical. Alternatively, 3 can be synthesized from the reduction of (PPP)NiCl (1) in the presence of CO; thus, the reaction proceeds by radical coupling of a . P-Ni0 -CO species. The reverse reaction occurred to generate 1 when 3 was treated with AgCl. Since the P-P bond is light-sensitive, its homolysis is possible and was explored by EPR spectroscopy and DFT analysis. Finally, various bond-activation reactions of 3 occurred under visible-light conditions, thus indicating that a P-P bond can act as an active reaction site.
