Nickel catalysts are commonly used for cross-coupling reactions such as Negishi, Kumada and Suzuki couplings. While Ni(0), Ni(I), and Ni(II) intermediates are most relevant in these transformations, Ni(III) and Ni(IV) species have also been recently proposed to play a role in catalysis. The formation of C–C and C–heteroatom bonds plays a fundamental role in organic transformations, and today cross-coupling reactions are one …
