Today we disclose the latest chapter in our longstanding collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb on air-stable nickel(0) complexes, reporting the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of Ni(DQ)₂, a homoleptic Ni(0)–olefin complex with exceptional stability. Congrats to the entire project team from Scripps (Wen-Ji, Shirley, Shenghua, and Camille), Bristol Myers Scripps (Nana and Steve), the Lin lab at Cornell (Zhipeng), and the Crystallography Facility at UCSD (Jake and Milan).
