The electrochemical properties of two Ni(NNN)X2 pincer complexes are reported where X = Cl or Br and NNN is N,N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)bis-aldiminopyridine.
The systematic development of pyridine-type ligands and electrophilic amination reagents is described, which promote aromatic Pd catalyzed, non-directed C–H aminations.
