Abstract
Phosphine-stabilized monovalent nickel complexes play an important role in catalysis, either as catalytically active species or as decomposition products. Most routes to access these complexes are highly ligand specific or rely on strong reducing agents. Our group recently disclosed a path to access nickel(I)-phenolate complexes from bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) (Ni(cod)2). Herein, we demonstrate this protocol's broad applicability by ligating a wide range of mono- and bidentate phosphine ligands. We further show the versatility of the phenolate fragment as a precursor to nickel(I)-alkyl or aryl species, which are relevant to Ni catalysis or synthetically useful nickel(I)-chloride and hydride complexes. We also demonstrate that the chloride complex can be synthesized in a one-pot procedure starting from Ni(cod)2 in good yield, making this protocol a valuable alternative to current procedures. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, and EPR (or NMR) spectroscopy were employed to characterize all of the synthesized nickel complexes.

Abstract
The biological global carbon cycle is largely regulated through microbial nickel enzymes, including carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH), acetyl coenzyme A synthase (ACS), and methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR). These systems are suggested to utilize organometallic intermediates during catalysis, though characterization of these species has remained challenging. We have established a mutant of nickel-substituted azurin as a scaffold upon which to develop protein-based models of enzymatic intermediates, including the organometallic states of ACS. In this work, we report the comprehensive investigation of the S = 1/2 Ni-CO and Ni-CH3 states using pulsed EPR spectroscopy and computational techniques. While the Ni-CO state shows conventional metal-ligand interactions and a classical ligand field, the Ni-CH3 hyperfine interactions between the methyl protons and the nickel indicate a closer distance than would be expected for an anionic methyl ligand. Structural analysis instead suggests a near-planar methyl ligand that can be best described as cationic. Consistent with this conclusion, the frontier molecular orbitals of the Ni-CH3 species indicate a ligand-centered LUMO, with a d9 population on the metal center, rather than the d7 population expected for a typical metal-alkyl species generated by oxidative addition. Collectively, these data support the presence of an inverted ligand field configuration for the Ni-CH3 Az species, in which the lowest unoccupied orbital is centered on the ligands rather than the more electropositive metal. These analyses provide the first evidence for an inverted ligand field within a biological system. The functional relevance of the electronic structures of both the Ni-CO and Ni-CH3 species are discussed in the context of native ACS, and an inverted ligand field is proposed as a mechanism by which to gate reactivity both within ACS and in other thiolate-containing metalloenzymes.

Abstract
The recently published purely metallo-organic NiI salt [Ni(cod)2 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (1, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, RF =C(CF3 )3 ) provides a starting point for a new synthesis strategy leading to NiI phosphine complexes, replacing cod ligands by phosphines. Clearly visible colour changes indicate reactions within minutes, while quantum chemical calculations (PBE0-D3(BJ)/def2-TZVPP) approve exergonic reaction enthalpies in all performed ligand exchange reactions. Hence, [Ni(dppp)2 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (2, dppp=1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane), [Ni(dppe)2 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (3, dppe=1,3-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane), three-coordinate [Ni(PPh3 )3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (4) and a remarkable two-coordinate NiI phosphine complex [Ni(PtBu3 )2 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (5) were characterised by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. EPR studies were performed, confirming a nickel d9 -configuration in complexes 2, 4 and 5. This result is supported by additional magnetization measurements of 4 and 5. Further investigations by cyclic voltammetry indicate relatively high oxidation potentials for these NiI compounds between 0.7 and 1.7 V versus Fc/Fc+ . Screening reactions with O2 and CO gave first insights on the reaction behaviour of the NiI phosphine complexes towards small molecules with formation of mixed phosphine-CO-NiI complexes and oxidation processes yielding new NiI and/or NiII derivatives. Moreover, 4 reacted with CH2 Cl2 at RT to give a dimeric NiII ylide complex (4 c). As CH2 Cl2 is a rather stable alkyl halide with relatively high C-Cl bond energies, 4 appears to be a suitable reagent for more general C-Cl bond activation reactions.

Abstract
Potassium graphite reduction of the half-sandwich Ni(II) ring-expanded diamino/diamidocarbene complexes CpNi(RE-NHC)Br gave the Ni(I) derivatives CpNi(RE-NHC) (where RE-NHC = 6-Mes (1), 7-Mes (2), 6-MesDAC (3)) in yields of 40%-50%. The electronic structures of paramagnetic 1-3 were investigated by CW X-/Q-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Q-band 1H electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy. While small variations in the g-values were observed between the diaminocarbene complexes 1 and 2, pronounced changes in the g-values were detected between the almost isostructural species (1) and diamidocarbene species (3). These results highlight the sensitivity of the EPR g-tensor to changes in the electronic structure of the Ni(I) centers generated by incorporation of heteroatom substituents onto the backbone ring positions. Variable-temperature EPR analysis also revealed the presence of a second Ni(I) site in 3. The experimental g-values for these two Ni(I) sites detected by EPR in frozen solutions of 3 are consistent with resolution on the EPR time scale of the disordered components evident in the X-ray crystallographically determined structure and the corresponding density functional theory (DFT)-calculated g-tensor. Q-band 1H ENDOR measurements revealed a small amount of unpaired electron spin density on the Cp rings, consistent with the calculated SOMO of complexes 1-3. The magnitude of the 1H A values for 3 were also notably larger, compared to 1 and 2, again highlighting the influence of the diamidocarbene on the electronic properties of 3.

Abstract
Ni-containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODH), present in many anaerobic microorganisms, catalyze the reversible oxidation of CO to CO(2) at the so-called C-cluster. This atypical active site is composed of a [NiFe(3)S(4)] cluster and a single unusual iron ion called ferrous component II or Fe(u) that is bridged to the cluster via one sulfide ion. After additional refinement of recently published high-resolution structures of COOH(x)-, OH(x)-, and CN-bound CODH from Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans (Jeoung and Dobbek Science 2007, 318, 1461-1464; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 9922-9923), we have used computational methods on the predominant resulting structures to investigate the spectroscopically well-characterized catalytic intermediates, C(red1) and the two-electron more-reduced C(red2). Several models were geometry-optimized for both states using hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical potentials. The comparison of calculated Mössbauer parameters of these active site models with experimental data allows us to propose that the C(red1) state has a Fe(u)-Ni(2+) bridging hydroxide ligand and the C(red2) state has a hydride terminally bound to Ni(2+). Using our combined structural and theoretical data, we put forward a revised version of an earlier proposal for the catalytic cycle of Ni-containing CODH (Volbeda and Fontecilla-Camps Dalton Trans. 2005, 21, 3443-3450) that agrees with available spectroscopic and structural data. This mechanism involves an abnormal CO(2) insertion into the Ni(2+)-H(-) bond.
