Complex 1 is a key intermediate in the Ni0‐promoted CC bond formation between alkenes and CO2; it contains 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) as ligand. The NiC bond of 1 can participate in further, regioselective insertion reactions with alkenes. The nickelacycle is thus a model complex for the study of Ni‐catalyzed reactions. equation image
