Graphical Abstract

The air- and water-stable Ni(0) complex [Ni(PFPh₂)₄] is obtained via a unique in-situ reduction and fluorination mechanism from [Ni(MeCN)₄](BF₄)₂ and Ph₂P(═O)─PPh₂, incorporating typically unstable fluorophosphine ligands. In their Research Article (e202506271), Schirin Hanf et al. demonstrated its utility as a robust Ni(0) source, and showed its superior catalytic activity in coupling reactions compared to the conventional [Ni(COD)₂].
