We herein showcase the ability of NHC-coordinated dinuclear Ni<sup>I</sup> -Ni<sup>I</sup> complexes to override fundamental reactivity limits of mononuclear (NHC)Ni<sup>0</sup> catalysts in cross-couplings. This is demonstrated with the development of a chemoselective trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides catalyzed by a Ni<sup>I</sup> dimer. A novel SeCF<sub>3</sub> -bridged Ni<sup>I</sup> dimer was isolated and shown to selectively react with Ar-I bonds. Our computational and experimenta ...[more]
