Bis(carbene)borate ligand transfer to the nickel nitrosyl synthon Ni(NO)(PPh₃)₂Br provides the new nickel nitrosyl complex Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni(NO)(PPh₃). The solid state structure reveals a trigonal pyramidal nickel ion with a very long bond to the apical PPh₃ ligand. The complex reversibly dissociates PPh₃ in solution to afford three-coordinate Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni(NO), with NMR data providing evidence for PPh₃ binding at low temperatures. Ligand transfer to Ni(PMe₃)₂Cl₂ provides the square planar complex, Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni(PMe₃)Cl, which shows no evidence for rearranging to the form a homoleptic complex with two bis(carbene)borate ligands. This complex is a suitable synthon for the [Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni]⁺ fragment, as demonstrated by the synthesis of the π-allyl complex Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni(η³-C₇H₇). The π-allyl complex reacts with O₂ to provide benzaldehyde and an unstable complex that is tentatively identified as the nickel(II) hydroxide [Ph₂B(^tBuIm)₂Ni(μ-OH)]₂.
