This perspective explores the pairing of nickel(0) complexes with organo-alkali-metal reagents, which yield highly reactive alkali-metal nickelates. These previously underexplored systems have re-emerged as a promising area of research, with recent studies uncovering their unique bonding and structural motifs. Furthermore, the discovery of nickelates as potential intermediates in cross-coupling reactions has provided the foundation for the development and mechanistic understanding of stoichiometric and catalytic<br />transformations.</p>}, number={4}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Borys, Andryj M. and Hevia, Eva}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={242–245} }
