A stirred mixture of 48.0 g (0.20 mol) of NiCl2.6H2O, 115.3 g (0.44 mol) of triphenylphosphine and 900 ml of 96% ethanol was heated until a gentle reflux started. 1-Acetyl-4-chloronaphthalene (0.4 mol, 82 g, excesss) was then added, followed by zinc dust (13 g, 0.2 mol, Merck, analytical grade) over 5 min. The mixture very soon turned yellow. After stirring and heating under reflux for 1.5 h (under nitrogen), the mixture was cooled to 293 K. Four 20-ml portions of 30% aqueous hydrochloric acid were added over 15 min. After stirring for 1.5 h, the solid was filtered off on a sintered-glass funnel and successively washed with 200 ml of ethanol, twice with 200 ml of 1M aqueous hydrochloric acid, twice with 200 ml of 96% ethanol and once with 200 ml of pentane. The yellowish solid was dried in vacuo. The yield was at least 80%. Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were grown by slow evaporation of a CH2Cl2 solution and the crystals contain one molecule of CH2Cl2. 1HNMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): 2.40 (s, 3 H), 5.29 (s, 2 H), 7.11–7.15 (m, 15 H), 7.22–7.25 (m, 8 H), 7.47–7.49 (m, 13 H).

All nine restraints were used to make the
of the slightly disordered solvent, dichloromethane, more stable. Six of the restraints were used to make the anisotropic displacement parameters of C49 in dichloromethane approximately isotropic. The other three restraints were used to make the components of the anisotropic displacement parameters in the direction of the C-Cl bond in dichloromethane approximately equal. H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso=1.2–1.5Ueq of the parent atoms.Data collection: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 2001); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Research in the field of organonickel catalysts has developed significantly in recent years. Semmelhack et al. (1971) have demonstrated that the Ni(II)–(σ–aryl) complex may act as an intermediate (oxidative adduct) in the catalytic cycle of Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings. Cramer & Coulson (1975), Morrell & Kochi (1975), Parshall (1974), Tsou & Kochi (1979a) and Tsou & Kochi (1979b) have also conducted an intensive investigation of Ni(II)–(σ–aryl) complexes, focusing mainly on insight into the nature and mechanism of nickel-catalyzed processes. In addition, Soolinger et al. (1990) have shown that it is possible to use such complexes as catalyst in cross-coupling reactions. Consequently, we were interested in the synthesis and direct application of Ni(II)–(σ–aryl) complex catalysts for carbon-heteroatom coupling. In particular, we are investigating a type of isolatable trans-haloarylbis(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) that is readily available and air- and thermally stable (Chen & Yang, 2007). For this purpose, we have synthesized the title compound in an analogous fashion to a previous literature precedent (Brandsma et al. 1998).
The reaction between NiCl2.6H2O, PPh3 and 1-acetyl-4-chloronaphthalene in ethanol leads to the formation the title compound (I) in high yield. The Ni2+ metal centre of the complex displays a pseudo-square-planar geometry (Figure I).
