Oxidative addition of aryl halides to Ni(0) is a ubiquitous elementary step in cross-coupling and related reactions, usually producing a square-planar Ni(II)-aryl intermediate. Here we show that a triphosphine ligand supports oxidative addition at a tris-ligated Ni(0) center to cleanly form stable five-coordinate Ni(II)-aryl compounds. Kinetic and computational studies support a concerted, two-electron mechanism rather than radical halogen abstraction. These results support the idea that oxidati ...[more]
