Popis: We herein showcase the ability of NHC-derived dinuclear Ni(I)-Ni(I) complexes to override fundamental reactivity limits of mononuclear (NHC)Ni(0) catalysts in cross-coupling. This is demonstrated with the development of a chemoselective Ni(I) dimer-catalyzed trifluoromethylselenolation of aryl iodides. A novel SeCF3-bridged dinuclear Ni(I) dimer was isolated and shown to be selectively reactive with Ar-I bonds. Our computational and experimental reactivity data suggest dinuclear Ni(I) catalysis to be operative. The corresponding Ni(0) on the other hand suffers from preferred reaction with the product, ArSeCF3, over productive cross-coupling and is hence inactive.
