The Front Cover shows that nickel complexes of new PNN pincer ligands are excellent catalysts for the hydrodehalogenation of aryl halides (bromonaphthalene being shown here) when using NaBH 4 as base and hydride source. The potency of the catalysts is enhanced by incorporating an electron‐donating group at a para ‐aryl position of the diarylamido anchor, which becomes evident in comparative studies with less receptive aryl halide substrates.
