Nickel complexes with 1,3-dienes are important intermediates in a variety of catalytic processes. In contrast to many classes of metal–diene complexes, such as those of iron and palladium in which metal complexation activates the π-system towards nucleophilic attack, (η4-diene)nickel complexes are most useful in cycloaddition processes and in couplings to polar π-systems such as carbonyls. Few examples of diene–nickel complexes are structurally well characterized, but they are commonly invoked in the mechanisms of many synthetic procedures.
