Abstract
Salt metathesis routes to five new -N(SiMe3)2 nickel derivatives were studied to illuminate their mode of formation, structures, and spectroscopy. The reaction between NiI2 and K{N(SiMe3)2} afforded the Ni(II) and Ni(I) complexes [K][Ni{N(SiMe3)2}3] (1) and [K][Ni{N(SiMe3)2}2] (2). Dissolving 1 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gave the Ni(II) species [K(THF)2][Ni{N(SiMe3)2}3] (3). The Ni(I) salt [K(DME)][Ni2{N(SiMe3)2}3] (4) was obtained by using NiCl2(DME) (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) as the nickel source rather than NiI2. The isolation of the Ni(I) complexes 2 and 4 highlights the tendency for K{N(SiMe3)2} to function as a reducing agent. Introduction of adventitious O2 to solutions of [K][Ni{N(SiMe3)2}2] (2) gave the nickel inverse crown ether (ICE) species [K2][O(Ni{N(SiMe3)2}2)2] (5). Complex 5 is the first ICE complex of nickel and is one of four known ICE complexes for the 3d metals. The experimental results indicate that the reduced Ni(I) bis(trimethylsilyl)amides are relatively easily generated, whereas Ni(III) derivatives that might be expected from a disproportionation of a Ni(II) derivative are apparently not yet isolable by the above routes. Overall, the new species crystallize readily from the reaction mixtures, but under ambient conditions, they begin to decompose as solids within ca. 24 h, which hinders their characterization.

Abstract
Room-temperature photoactivation of the first- and second-generation PN3P-pincer nickel azido complexes 1a and 1b in the presence of CO2 or CS2 afforded N-bound carbamates, dithiocarbamates, and isothiocyanates, providing insights into CO2 and CS2 activation and demonstrating how a seemingly small difference in the ligand structure significantly influences the reactivity. Theoretical calculations disclosed that the charge of the phosphorus atom plays a critical role in determining the nitrogen atom transfer to form a plausible nickel phosphiniminato intermediate.

Abstract
The photoredox/Ni dual catalysis is an appealing strategy to enable unconventional C-heteroatom bond formation. While significant advances have been achieved using this system, intermolecular C(sp3)-N bond formation has been relatively underdeveloped due to the difficulty in C(sp3)-N reductive elimination. Herein, we present a new mechanistic approach that utilizes dioxazolones as the Ni(II)-nitrenoid precursor to capture carbon-centered radicals by merging proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) with nickel catalysis, thus forming synthetically versatile N-alkyl amides using alcohols. Based on mechanistic investigations, the involvement of (κ2-N,O)Ni(II)-nitrenoid species was proposed to capture photoredox PCET-induced alkyl radicals, thereby playing a pivotal role to enable the C(sp3)-N bond formation.

Abstract
Two borane-functionalized bidentate phosphine ligands that vary in tether length have been prepared to examine cooperative metal-substrate interactions. Ni(0) complexes react with aryl azides at low temperatures to form structurally unusual κ2-(N,N)-N3Ar adducts. Warming these adducts affords products of N2 extrusion and in one case, a Ni-imido compound that is capped by the appended borane. Reactions with 1-azidoadamantane (AdN3) provide a distinct outcome, where a proposed nickel imido intermediate activates the sp2 C-H bonds of arenes, even in the presence of benzylic C-H sites. Combined experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrate that the unique reactivity is a consequence of Lewis-acid-induced polarization of the Ni-NR bond, potentially providing a synthetic strategy for chemoselective reaction engineering.

Abstract
In this report, we present intricate pathways for the synthesis of linear nickel(I) silylamide K{m}[Ni(NR2)2] (NR2 = -N(SiMe3)2). This is achieved first via the reduction of nickel(II) trisamide Li(donor)4[Ni(NR2)3] (Li(thf)x[1]) with KC8 in the presence of 18-crown-6 or crypt.222. In due course, the behavior of Li(donor)4[Ni(NR2)3] as a source of masked two-coordinate nickel(II) hexamethyldisilazanide is explored, leading to the formation of nickel(I) and nickel(II) N-donor adducts, as well as metal-metal-bonded dinickel(I) trisamide K(toluene)[Ni2(NR2)3] (K(toluene)[5]). Finally, a convenient and reliable synthesis of K{m}[Ni(NR2)2] by ligand exchange of phosphines in [Ni(NR2)(PPh3)2] with K{m}(NR2) is presented. This allows for the comprehensive analysis of its electronic properties which reveals a fluxional behavior in solution with tight anion/cation interactions.
