Abstract

A new dimension for secondary phosphine oxide (SPOs) ligands is described in this article. Demonstrated on original π-allylic nickel structures, these self-assembled complexes trigger catalytic hydrophosphinylation reactions. Addition of a Lewis acid B(C <subscript>6</subscript> F <subscript>5</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> switches the reactivity towards migratory insertion and thus ethylene oligomerization through an unprecedented outer-sphere interaction with the coordinated SPO ligand. NMR experiments and X-ray analyses allowed for the observation of the formation of zwitterionic active species as well as their degradation pathway.<br /> (© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
