Abstract
Metal-ligand cooperation can facilitate the activation of chemical bonds, opening reaction pathways of interest for catalyst development. In this context, olefins occupying the central position of a diphosphine pincer ligand (PC=CP) are emerging as reversible H atom acceptors, e.g., for H2 activation. Here, we report on the reactivity of nickel complexes of PC=CP ligands with a terminal alkyne, for which two competing pathways are observed. First, cooperative and reversible C-H bond activation generates a Ni(II) alkyl/alkynyl complex as the kinetic product. Second, in the absence of a bulky substituent on the olefin, two alkyne molecules are incorporated in the ligand structure to form a conjugated triene bound to Ni(0). The mechanisms of these processes are studied by density functional theory calculations supported by experimental observations.

Abstract
Despite their promising metal-ligand cooperative reactivity, PCcarbene P pincer ligands are rarely reported for first-row transition-metal centres. Using a dehydration methodology, we report access to an Fe0 PCcarbene P pincer complex (1) that proceeds via an isolated α-hydroxylalkyl hydrido complex (3). Reversible carbonyl migration to the carbene position in 1 is found to allow coordination chemistry and E-H bond addition (E=H, B, Cl) across the iron-carbene linkage, representing a unique mechanism for metal-ligand cooperativity. The PCcarbene P pincer ligand is also found to stabilize formal FeII , FeI , and Fe-I oxidation states, as demonstrated with synthesis and characterization of the complexes [11-X][BArF 20 ] (X=Br, I), 12, and K[13]. Compound K[13] is found to be highly reactive, and abstracts hydrogen from a range of aliphatic C-H sources. Computational analysis by DFT suggests that the formal FeI and Fe-I complexes contain significant carbene radical character. The ability of the PCcarbene P ligand scaffold to partake in metal-ligand cooperativity and to support a range of iron oxidation states renders it as potentially useful in many catalytic applications.

Abstract
A hexacoordinated complex [Co(pydm)2](mdnbz)2 from the family of pincer complexes was prepared and structurally characterized. The complex behaves as an S = 3/2 spin system with a considerable zero-field splitting parameter D/hc ∼ +50 cm-1. The AC susceptibility measurements show a slow magnetic relaxation with three relaxation channels: at the low-frequency (LF), intermediate-frequency (IF) and high-frequency (HF) domains. At T = 2.0 K and an external field BDC = 0.25 T, the relaxation times of the individual modes are τ(LF) = 282 ms, τ(IF) = 3.1 ms, and τ(HF) = 0.16 ms, and the mole fractions of the slowly relaxing species are x(LF) = 0.19, x(IF) = 0.45, and x(HF) = 0.37. A comparison with the analogous complex [Co(pydm)2](dnbz)2 possessing a demethylated counter anion and identical metal cation shows that even small modifications in the composition of SIMs are no longer underestimated for the slow magnetic relaxation.
