Treatment of NiBr 2 (DME) (DME = 1,2‐dimethoxyethane) or anhydrous NiBr 2 with 2 equiv. of PNP pincer ligands featuring phosphoramidites in CH 2 Cl 2 yields the novel neutral pentacoordinate complexes [Ni(PNP){κ 1 (P)‐R 2 P=O}Br]. Over the course of this reaction the P–N bonds of the phosphoramidite units of one PNP ligand are selectively cleaved due to hydrolysis affording an anionic κ 1 ‐(P)‐coordinated phosphinite ligand [R 2 P=O] – , while a second PNP ligand remains intact and is coordinated in a κ 3 ‐(P,N,P) fashion. The X‐ray structure of one [Ni(PNP){κ 1 (P)‐PR 2 =O}Br] complex has been determined.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006)
