Mechanistic insight into cooperative catalysis with pentanuclear nickel clusters: catalytic alkene dimerization and silyl–silylene and silylyne clusters
Abstract
The cluster [( i Pr 3 P)Ni] 5 H 6 selectively catalyses the coupling of alkenes, but with different reaction types for norbornadiene versus cyclopentene. Isolated complexes give insights into intermediates relevant to the mechanisms of selective catalysis.
