Formation of [Ni-III(kappa(1)-S2CH)(P(o-C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)(3))](-) via CS2 Insertion into Nickel(III) Hydride Containing [Ni-III(H)(P(o-C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)(3))](-)
Insertion of CS2 into the thermally unstable nickel(111) hydride [PPN][Ni(H)(P(o-C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)(3))] (1), freshly prepared from the reaction of [PPN][Ni(OC6H5)P(C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)(3)] and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (HBpin; pin = OC-Me2CMe2O) in tetrahydrofuran at -80 degrees C via a metathesis reaction, readily affords [PPN][Ni-III(kappa(1)-S2CH)(P(o-C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)(3))] (2) featuring a kappa(1)-S2CH moiety.
