H‐NNP was prepared by the condensation of 4‐[(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)amino]pent‐3‐en‐2‐one with 2‐(diphenylphosphanyl)ethylamine. Ni‐NNP was characterized spectroscopically and by X‐ray diffraction, revealing a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry around the nickel center. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the highest occupied molecular orbital in Ni‐NNP is located at higher energy than those of three other homologous nickel(II) complexes, i.e., Ni‐ONN, Ni‐ONP, and Ni‐NNN, which contain β‐aminoketonato‐ or β‐diketiminato‐based pincer‐type ligands. The electronic and steric properties of Ni‐NNP effectively facilitated the cross‐coupling of aryl fluorides with aryl Grignard reagents., This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: [Nobutaka Kurisu et al, 2019, The European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 2019 1 126-133], which has been published in final form at [https://doi.org/10.1002/ejic.201801179].
