Abstract

A Ni(ii) complex with two t-butylisocyanide ligands supported by a N3C^- type tetradentate ligand was synthesized and characterized. Quantitative generation of the aromatic cyanation product, ^tBuN3C-CN, is observed by reacting this Ni(ii) complex with 1 equiv. of an oxidant. Reactivity studies suggest that this oxidatively-induced cyanation involves a heterolytic cleavage of the N-^tBu bond and is mediated by Ni(iii).
