Abstrakt: We herein showcase the ability of NHC-coordinated dinuclear Ni I -Ni I complexes to override fundamental reactivity limits of mononuclear (NHC)Ni 0 catalysts in cross-couplings. This is demonstrated with the development of a chemoselective trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides catalyzed by a Ni I dimer. A novel SeCF 3 -bridged Ni I dimer was isolated and shown to selectively react with Ar-I bonds. Our computational and experimental reactivity data suggest dinuclear Ni I catalysis to be operative. The corresponding Ni 0 species, on the other hand, suffers from preferred reaction with the product, ArSeCF 3 , over productive cross-coupling and is hence inactive.
