The unique synthesis and reactivity of [(<sup>R</sup>PNP*)NiH] complexes (<b>1a</b>,<b>b</b>), based on metal-ligand cooperation (MLC), are presented (<sup>R</sup>PNP* = deprotonated PNP ligand, R = <sup>i</sup>Pr, <sup>t</sup>Bu). Unexpectedly, the dearomatized complexes <b>1a</b>,<b>b</b> were obtained by reduction of the dicationic complexes [(<sup>R</sup>PNP)Ni(MeCN)](BF<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> with sodium amalgam or by reaction of the free ligand with Ni<sup>0</sup>(COD)<sub>2</sub>.
