Abstract

Photolysis of (η 5-C 5H 5)Ni(R)PPh 3 (R = Me, Et) in air-free benzene leads to the production of the stable radical (η 5-C 5H 5)Ni(PPh 3) 2. In the presence of free ligands, L (L = PPh 3, P( p-FPh) 3, P( p-MeOPh) 3, P( n-Bu) 3, P(OEt) 3, P(OPh) 3, P(OMe) 3, dppe/2, bipy/2, C 2Ph 2 and HCCPh), photolysis of (η 5-C 5H 5)Ni(R)PPh 3 leads to the production of (η 5-C 5H 5)Ni(L) 2. The ESR spectra of several derivatives of the radical, (η 5-C 5H 5)NiL 2, have been analysed and the variation of the sp hybridization of the phosphorus donor atom determined.
