Abstract：
:Mechanisms for the activation of water, ammonia, and other small molecules by the PCcarbeneP nickel pincer complex were studied computationally with the aid of density functional theory. The calculation results indicate that the strongly donating, nucleophilic carbene center can engage in a variety of heterolytic splitting of E-H (E=H, C, N, O) bonds, some of which are reversible. The cleavage of E-H bonds across the Ni=C bond represents a new mode of bond activation by ligand cooperativity in nickel pincer complex. On the basis of the calculations, we also demonstrate that reversible H2 activation across the Ir=C bond via the PCcarbeneP iridium pincer complex was observed in the experiments, while other E-H (E=C, N, O) bonds were not activated. Our calculations are in good agreement with experimental observations and could provide new insights into ligand cooperativity in nickel pincer complexes.
