Abstract
We report the experimental and computational investigations of the reactions of aryl and vinyl triflates with a model nickel(0) complex. Oxidative addition rates decrease in the order naphthyl > vinyl > phenyl, although 4-acetylphenyl triflate reacts most quickly due to favourable ketone coordination. Two possible reaction mechanisms are explored using DFT calculations.
