Popis: Knowledge about bonding in diiminepyridine (L) halide, alkyl, and dinitrogen complexes of the metals iron, cobalt, and nickel is summarized, and two new examples are added to the set: L(1)Ni(Me) and L(1)Ni(N(2)). Reactivity of these types of complexes is discussed in terms of organic radical chemistry. New C-C couplings with L(2)CoAr complexes are described and proposed to involve halide abstraction and radical coupling. Calculations support the high tendency of the diiminepyridine ligand to accept an electron coming from a metal-carbon bond and so facilitate loss of a radical.
