A variety of nickel(aryl)(CF 3 ) complexes supported by a chelating bisphosphine were successfully prepared in order to investigate the possibility of reductive elimination of Ar−CF 3 . The first structural comparison of a Ni−CF 3 complex with a Ni−CH 3 complex is also presented. All of the new nickel(aryl)(CF 3 ) complexes were thermally stable and did not produce Ar−CF 3 under thermal conditions. Additives had very little effect on the reductive eliminations, although water was found to afford product in 22% yield.
