Description
Summary:	Electrochemical properties and reactivity of electrochemically activated forms of organonickel sigma-complex [NiBr(Mes)(bpy)] (where Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were studied. The activation of the organonickel sigma-complex was found to proceed under both electrochemical reduction and oxidation conditions to give coordinatively unsaturated forms of the complex: radical [Ni(Mes)(bpy)]• and cationic complex [Ni(Mes)(bpy)] + , respectively. It was shown experimentally that the active forms of organonickel complex [NiBr(Mes)(bpy)] can react with organic substrates (cyclohexene, octene-1, tetrahydrofuran) and convert nitriles (acetonitrile, acetonitrile- d 3 , chloroacetonitrile) into corresponding imines containing 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl fragment.
