Abstract Metal–metal bonds play a vital role in stabilizing key intermediates in bond‐formation reactions. We report that binuclear benzo[
h ]quinoline‐ligated NiIIcomplexes, upon oxidation, undergo reductive elimination to form carbon–halogen bonds. A mixed‐valent Ni(2.5+)–Ni(2.5+) intermediate is isolated. Further oxidation to NiIII, however, is required to trigger reductive elimination. The binuclear NiIII–NiIIIintermediate lacks a Ni−Ni bond. Each NiIIIundergoes separate, but fast reductive elimination, giving rise to NiIspecies. The reactivity of these binuclear Ni complexes highlights the fundamental difference between Ni and Pd in mediating bond‐formation processes.
