Reversible CO binding at a nickel complex supported by an ambiphilic PBiP tridentate ligand
A nickel chloride complex supported by a bismuthide diphosphine tridentate ligand reversibly binds CO to afford a nickel dicarbonyl species. Interestingly, this metal-ligand cooperative transformation occurs with chloride migration to the Bi center, highlighting the ambiphilicity of organobismuth donors. Chloride substitution with nitroxide weakens the Ni-Bi interaction and inhibits CO dissociation.
