trans,trans,trans-(1,5,9-Cyclododecatriene)nickel(0) a organonickel compound with the formula NiC12H18, better known as t-Ni(cdt). It is a 16-electron coordination complex featuring trigonal planar nickel(0) bound to the three alkene groups in the cyclododecatriene ligand.[1] X-ray structural analysis demonstrates that the three olefins adopt a propeller-like arrangement around the nickel atom center, making the structure chiral.[2] This extremely air-sensitive deep red solid was the first discovered Ni(0)-olefin complex.[3]

Preparation and properties

The complex is prepared by reduction of anhydrous nickel(II) acetylacetonate in ether in the presence of the triolefin:[4]

Ni(acac)2 + t-cdt + 2 Et2AlOEt → t-Ni(cdt) + 2 acacAlOEt + 2 C2H5

σ-Donating ligands such as carbon monoxide, isonitriles, phosphines, and hydrides can readily add onto t-Ni(cdt) to furnish tetrahedral 18-electron nickel complexes.[5] It has been demonstrated that this fourth coordination site can be leveraged to separate the t-Ni(cdt) enantiomers with recrystallization of diastereomeric 18-electron t-Ni(cdt)L* complexes (where L* = optically active dimethylmenthylphosphine ligand).[3][4]

Applications

The all-trans-(cdt) ligand has been shown to be easily displaced with olefins such as trans-cyclooctene,[3] ethylene,[6] all-cis-(cdt),[7] norbornene,[6][8] to give the corresponding colorless 16-electron Ni(0)-olefin complexes with coplanar geometry. Ni(cod)2 can also be easily prepared from Ni(cdt).

Formation of other 16-electron Ni(0)-olefin complexes from t-Ni(cdt)

Recently, it was demonstrated that t-Ni(cdt) can be used to synthesize unique air-stable 16-electron Ni(0)–olefin complexes, such as Ni(Fstb)3 and Ni(4-tBustb)3 using (E)-stilbene ligands.[9][10]
