Intermediates in Pentanuclear Nickel Hydride Cluster Formation and the Role of the Supporting Phosphine Ligand

Our group has previously studied the atypical electron-deficient cluster [(iPr3P)Ni]5H6 for the activation of inert bonds and as a catalyst for nearly barrierless alkene dimerization and stereoselective [2+2] cycloadditions. This study examines alternative phosphines to the iPr3P...
