The tridentate ligands S(CH2CH2NHPiPr 2)2 and S(CH2CH2OPiPr 2)2 undergo C-S oxidative addition to give (SCH 2CH2EPiPr2)Ni(CH2CH 2EPiPr2) (E = NH (2), O (4)). The corresponding reaction of the aminophosphine ligand HN(CH2CH2NHPiPr 2)2 is reversible, affording access to a transient Ni(0) synthon that undergoes oxidative addition with HCl, MeI, or o-ClC 6H4F to give the Ni(II) complexes [HN(CH 2CH2NHPiPr2)2NiR]X (R = H, X = Cl (7), PF6 (8); R = Me, X = I (9); R = o-C6H4F, X = Cl (10)). These observations are supported via computations.
