    We present three heterobimetallic complexes containing an isostructural nickel center and a lutetium ion in varying coordination environments. The bidentate iPr2PCH2NHPh and nonadentate (iPr2PCH2NHAr)3tacn ligands were used to prepare the Lu metalloligands, Lu( i Pr 2 PCH 2 NPh) 3 ( 1 ) and Lu{( i Pr 2 PCH 2 NAr) 3 tacn} ( 2 ), respectively. Reaction of Ni(COD) 2 (where COD is 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and 1 afforded NiLu( i Pr 2 PCH 2 NPh) 3 ( 3 ), with a Lu coordination number (CN) of 4 and a Ni–Lu distance, d (Ni–Lu), of 2.4644(2) Å. Complex 3 can furthermore »bind THF to form 3-THF , increasing both the Lu CN to 5 and d (Ni–Lu) to 2.5989(4) Å. On the other hand, incorporation of Ni(0) into 2 provides NiLu{( i Pr 2 PCH 2 NAr) 3 tacn} ( 4 ), in which the Lu coordination environment is more saturated (CN = 6), and the d (Ni–Lu) is substantially elongated at 2.9771(5) Å. Cyclic voltammetry of the three Ni–Lu complexes shows an overall ∼410 mV shift in the Ni(0/I) redox couple, suggesting tunability of the Ni electronics across the series. Computational studies reveal polarized bonding interactions between the Ni 3d z2 (major) and the Lu 5d z2 (minor) orbitals, where the percentage of Lu character increases in the order: 4 (6.0% Lu 5d z2 ) < 3-THF (8.5%) < 3 (9.3%). All three Ni–Lu complexes bind H 2 at low temperatures (−30 to −80 °C) and are competent catalysts for styrene hydrogenation. Complex 3 outperforms 4 with a four-fold faster rate. Additionally, adding increasing THF equivalents to 3 , which would favor build-up of 3-THF , decreases the rate. We propose that altering the coordination sphere of the Lu support can influence the resulting properties and catalytic activity of the active Ni(0) metal center.« less
