Scheme 3.

Scheme 3.

(a) Attempted alkylation with substrates that cannot undergo bidentate coordination to Ni catalyst. (b) Stoichiometric alkylation reaction with 9 prepared from Ni(COD)2. (c) Calculated electronic structure of 9 with spin density plot labelled with Loewdin spin population values for atoms with significant radical character. (d) Qualitative molecular orbital diagram of BS(2,2) 9 and corresponding magnetic orbitals with corresponding spatial overlap (S) for orbitals with S < 0.999.
