Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The complexes ArNiXL2 and HNiXL2 (X is halide, L is tertiary phosphine) in the presence of zinc catalyze the condensation of bromobenzene with styrene (stilbene formation).

  2. 2.

    The yield of stilbene and 1,3-diphenylbutene, the dimerization product of styrene, in the presence of pyridine is lowered according to the substitution of phenyl groups on the phosphorus ligand L by alkyl (ethyl, cyclohexyl) groups.

  3. 3.

    Change of triphenylphosphine to phenylethylphosphines and tricyclohexylphosphine in the hydride complex HNi(X)(PR3)2, the catalytic activity of which falls in the order X=Cl≫Br>I, favors the dimerization of styrene in the absence of pyridine.
