This report describes the catalytic reactivities of a series of Ni and Pd complexes featuring substituted or functionalized indenyl ligands and Ni complexes featuring a PCsp3P type ligand framework. The reactivities of the indenyl complexes encompass styrene homologation (dimerization, trimerization, oligomerization, and polymerization) and hydrosilylation, 1-hexene isomerization, ethylene dimerization and polymerization, phenylacetylene hydrosilylation, coupling reactions of aryl halides with styrene and amines. The reactivities of PCsp3P–Ni complexes is focused on oligomerization of phenylsilane and its addition to styrene, and the addition of aniline to acrylonitrile. The various reactivities discussed herein demonstrate the importance of ligand properties on the catalysis promoted by a given metal.
