Abstract

Abstract Dehalogenative carbon—carbon coupling reactions of 3, 4-dibromothiophene, 1, 2- dihalobenzenes and 9-bromoanthracene using zerovalent nickel complexes as a dehalogenating reagent produced respectively cyclotetrathiophene, triphenylene and 9,′ 9- bianthracene in good yields. However, two extremely stable arylnickel (II) complexes, Ni (10- X-9-anthryl) X (PPh 3) 2 (X= Br, Cl), where the 10-C X bond in the anthryl groups was ...
