Catalytically competent nickel(I)โ€“isocyanide compounds for cross-coupling reactions Nature Catalysis, Published online: 14 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-025-01473-9Nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reactions generally use Ni(II) or Ni(0) precatalysts. Here the authors report thermally stable dinuclear Ni(I) complexes with commercial isocyanide ligands for the efficient catalysis in Kumada, Suzukiโ€“Miyaura and Buchwaldโ€“Hartwig cross-coupling reactions.
