The mechanism of the reductive homocoupling of pyridine derivatives mediated by the Zr<sup>II</sup> synthon [(PNP)Zr(η<sup>6</sup>-toluene)Cl] (<b>1</b>) has been investigated. Selective transformation into three different types of product complexes has been observed, depending on the N-heterocyclic substrate employed: the bipyridyl complexes <b>3-R</b> (R = Me, Et, <sup><i>t</i></sup> Bu, Bn, Ph, CHCHPh), which are the homocoupling products, the η<sup>2</sup>-((4-dimethylamino)pyridyl) complex ...[more]
