Experimental and density functional theory show that the reaction of acetonitrile with a zerovalent nickel bis(dialkylphosphino)ethane fragment (alkyl = methyl; isopropyl) proceeds via initial exothermic formation of an η2-nitrile complex. Three well-defined transition states have been found on the potential energy surface between the η2-nitrile complex and the activation products. The lowest energy transition state is an η3-acetonitrile complex; which connects the η2- nitrile to a higher energy η3-acetonitrile intermediate with an agostic C-H bond; while the other two lead to cleavage of either the C-H or the C-CN bonds. Gas-phase calculations show C-CN bond activation to be endothermic; which contradicts the observation of thermal C-CN activation in THF. Therefore; the effect of solvent was taken into consideration by using the polarizable continuum model (PCM); whereupon the activation of the C-CN bond was found to be exothermic. Furthermore the C-CN bond activation was found to be favored exclusively over C-H bond activation due to the strong thermodynamic driving force and slightly lower kinetic barrier. © 2007 American Chemical Society;
