摘要:
Reactions of aluminium tribromide with the Ni(0) phosphine and phosphite complexes are studied by EPR method. AlBr3 was found to cause the oxidation of the transition metal in the (PPh3)(4)Ni complex to the univalent state with the formation of the tetracoordinated (PPh3)(3)NiBr complex. With an excess of AlBr3, the phosphine ligands are eliminated from the coordination sphere of Ni(I), and the coordinatively unsaturated complexes are destroyed to give the colloidal nickel. In the reaction of (P(OEt)(3))(4)Ni with AlBr3, Ni(0) is also oxidized to Ni(I), but the acido ligand is not eliminated even with a 15-fold excess of the Lewis acid. The activity of catalytic systems on the basis of the Ni(0)phosphine complexes and the Lewis acids in the low-molecular oligmerization reactions of olefines is determined by the cationic coordinatively unsaturated Ni(I) complexes formed in these systems.
