The reactivity of Ni(PMe3)4 with CO2, CS2 and SCNPh was studied. Although CO2 is structurally homologous compound with CS2 and SCNPh, its reactivity with Ni(PMe3)4 shows a different result with those of CS 2 and SCNPh. Reactions of Ni(PMe3)4 with carbon disulfide and phenyl isothiocyanate in THF give the tetrahedral coordinate complexes (Me3P)3Ni(η2-CS2) (1) and (Me3P)3Ni(η2-SCNPh) (3), characterized by standard spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction. Nickel(0) complexes 1 and 3 are stabilized by the strong donor ligand PMe3. In the case of CO2, attempts to isolate the expected nickel(0) complex (Me 3P)3Ni(η2-CO2) (4) proved to be unsuccessful. To further extend the utility of our nickel catalysts, the catalytic coupling of organozinc bearing different functionalities with CS 2 was explored. With 10 mol% of 1 as the catalyst, MeZnMe, EtZnEt and PhZnBr coupled with CS2 to form the corresponding methyl dithiocarboxylate following esterfication of the initial products.
