A series of nickel(0) complexes, 3, 4, and 5, containing unsaturated 15-membered
azamacrocyclic
ligands have been synthesized. Structural characterization of the
complexes is based on NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis,
and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, the catalytic
activity of the complexes in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling
of arylboronic acids and aryl halides has been tested.
