Abstract

Abstract : A facially-capping tris(6-methylpyridyl)phenylborate is highly electron-donating and its nickel complex is potent m CPBA activator. Abstract : A novel anionic tridentate borate ligand with a 6-methylpyridyl donor, Tpy Me, has been synthesized. Comparison of the molecular structures and reactivities of nickel(ii )-bromido complexes with tris(azolyl)borate ligands composed of pyridyl, pyrazolyl, or oxazolinyl donors indicates the characteristic sterically demanding nature and strong electron donating ability of Tpy Me .
