The nickel-2, 2′-bipyridine catalyzed electrochemical cross-coupling reaction between an aryl halide and a chloropyridazine was investigated by an electrochemical study. The electrochemical behavior of the divalent nickel complex is affected by the presence of pyridazine rings which act as co-ligands of nickel. Cyclic voltammetry indicates that the cross- coupling reaction involves first a rapid oxidative addition of the chloropyridazine on the ...
