Abstract

A simple one-step synthesis of (NHC)2NiCl2 complexes containing bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands relies on the C–H metallation of N,N'-diaryl-substituted azolium salts, NHC-precursors, with NiCl2Py2 in the presence of Cs2CO3 and pyridine. This procedure allows one to implement all synthetic manipulations in air.
