Abstract
An attempt was made to use the enantiopure arylnickel(II) complex [Ni(L*-N, C, N)Br], 1, (L* is the monoanionic ligand, 2, 6-bis[(2-(S)-2-isopropoxycarbonyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]phenyl) as a catalyst for the Kharasch addition reaction of CCl4 to alkenes which led instead to a new ionic arylnickel(III) complex [Ni(L*Cl]2[NiCl4] (= [2-Cl]2[NiCl4]. An X-ray diffraction study of
