Abstract
The preparation of cyclobutadiene nickel halide complexes (R4C4NiX2)2, where R is phenyl or substituted phenyl, by reaction of the palladium complexes, [R4C4PdX2]2, with a tert-phosphine metal complex, e.g. (n-Bu3P)2NiX2, is described. The reaction proceeds according to the equation[Formula: see text]Possible mechanisms are suggested.Keywords
