Abstract

Abstract : We report a facile photoreductive chlorine elimination reaction from a stable Ni(iii ) dichloride complex supported by a tetradentate pyridinophane N-donor ligand. Abstract : Herein we report the isolation, characterization, and photoreactivity of a stable Ni III dichloride complex supported by a tetradentate pyridinophane N-donor ligand. Upon irradiation, this complex undergoes an efficient photoreductive chlorine elimination reaction, both in solution and the solid-state. Subsequently, the Ni III Cl2 species can be regenerated via a reaction with PhICl2 .
