Abstract

With the reaction of bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) and trans-penta-2,4-dienoic acid in the presence of tricyclohexylphosphine, a new more general method was developed to synthesize cyclic pi(3)-allyl-carboxylato Ni(II) complexes, which are known to be intermediates in the C-C coupling of butadiene and CO2. The cyclic pi(3)-allyl-carboxylato Ni(II) complex obtained is tested as a mediator in the electrochemical coupling reaction of butadiene and carbon dioxide. We also demonstrate the dependency on the coordination sphere by using platinum instead of nickel as the metal center. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
