Abstract Picolyl and benzyl linked biphenyl nickel NHC complexes [NiL1Br2] (1), [NiL2]Br2 (2) [NiL3]Br2 (3) and [NiL3(N3)2] (4) were synthesized and characterized by CHN, ESI-MS, 1H, 13C NMR and single crystal XRD. All complexes adopted distorted square planar structure. They were employed as catalysts in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to afford different biphenyls in good to moderate yields.
