The invention relates to a 1,2,3-
triazole functionalized N-heterocyclic
carbene binuclear
nickel compound and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the field of
organometallic chemistry. According to the 1,2,3-
triazole functionalized N-heterocyclic
carbene binuclear
nickel compound, 1,2,3-
triazole functionalized N-heterocyclic
carbene is taken as a ligand, and the
mole ratio of N-heterocyclic carbene to
nickel is 1 to 1; the 1,2,3-triazole functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene binuclear nickel compound has a molecular
structural formula shown in specification, wherein R1 is
imidazole or
benzimidazole, R2 is one of benzyl, n-butyl and phenyl, and X is either PF6 or BF4. The preparation method of the 1,2,3-triazole functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene binuclear nickel compound is simple, the binuclear nickel carbene compound is stable to air and
moisture, and the distance among nickel atoms is relatively short, so that the compound has a
metal-
metal effect; by using the catalyst, cross-
coupling reaction can be efficiently realized, and a variety of
biphenyl derivatives can be obtained in the yield of being higher than 90%; the compound has very good functional group compatibility, is environment-friendly and can be extensively applied to
fine chemical industry and
pharmaceutical industry.
