A series of nitrogen phosphine ligands were synthesized, and the hydrosilylation reaction of alkenes catalyzed using MCl2 in the presence of these ligands was investigated. FeCl2/1(N1, N1, N2, N2-Tetrakis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ethane-1,2-diamine) showed low catalytic activity. MnCl2/1, CrCl3/1 and NiCl2/1 showed some catalytic activity. The CoCl2/N,P-ligand catalyst system showed high activity as well as excellent selectivity (The selectivity of the β-adduct was ~100%.) in the hydrosilylation reaction. CoCl2/1 showed the highest catalytic activity (~ >99.9% conversion of 1-octene). Additionally, no α-adduct, dehydrogenative silylation product and octane were detected.

Decarboxylation of low-value fatty acids from biomass is a simple process to produce synthetic fuels suitable to be blended with gasoline or diesel. The present study reports the photocatalytic decarboxylation of octanoic acid in the presence of H2 by a series of modified TiO2 to form mixtures of n-heptane and tetradecane as major products in variable proportions, depending on the photocatalyst and the reaction conditions. It was found that the photocatalytic activity increases upon an optimal reductive NaBH4 treatment, presumably by generation of surface oxygen vacancies and by the deposition of Ni nanoparticles in the appropriate loading. Under the optimized conditions, an almost complete octanoic acid conversion and a combined selectivity to n-heptane and tetradecane over 80 % were reached at 10 h of UV/Vis light irradiation with a 300 W Xe lamp. No changes in the photocatalytic performance were observed for six consecutive runs. The present results illustrate the possibility that photocatalytic decarboxylation offers for the transformation of biomass into synthetic fuels under mild conditions.

A series of (N2P2)NiIIcomplexes (N2P2 =P,P′-ditertbutyl-2,11-diphosphonito[3.3](2,6)pyridinophane) stabilized by a modified tetradentate pyridinophane ligand containing two phosphonite groups were synthesized and characterized. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies revealed the accessibility of the NiIoxidation state at moderate redox potentials for these NiIIcomplexes.In situEPR, low-temperature UV-vis, and electrochemical studies were employed to detect the formation of NiIspecies during the reduction of NiIIprecursors. Furthermore, the [(N2P2)NiI(CNt-Bu)](SbF6) complex was isolated upon reduction of the NiIIprecursor with 1 equiv of CoCp2and was characterized by EPR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Finally, the (N2P2)NiIIBr2complex acts as an efficient catalyst for the Kumada cross-coupling of an aryl halide with an aryl or alkyl Grignard, suggesting that the N2P2 ligand can support the various Ni species involved in the catalytic C-C bond formation reactivity.
