Abstract

Nickel catalysts have been developed for a wide range of C-C bond formation reactions. Reaction mechanisms proposed for these transformations generally involve catalytic intermediates based on mononickel species. These reactions are reviewed and the possibility of dinickel species active in C-C cross-coupling chemistry is discussed.
