Abstract
Improvements in the performance and stability of organonickel catalysts in polymerization, hydrogenation, oxidation catalytic systems, as well as in growing carbon nanotubes and graphene, have driven the outstanding applications and strong practical applications of organonickel-based catalysts. Improvement of ligands in nickel complex compounds is the key to the design of homogeneous nickel catalysts, and understanding the role of the nanoscale environment has played a major role in the development of solid nickel catalysts. The role of ligands in various catalytic systems makes it possible to utilize various reagents with very simple and inexpensive catalyst precursors. Developing stable ligands in organonickel compounds into solid catalysts has challenges related to the stability of the ligands against oxidation and temperature. Immobilization on solids with a large surface area provides an opportunity but has the potential to reduce the performance activity of the catalyst. This paper will review the role of ligands and their development in nickel catalyst isomerization of carbon double bonds and the chances of immobilization in MOFs, which are hollow solids with a framework structure in the form of ligands. This review presents selected examples of literature that draw attention to important fundamental aspects of nickel chemistry and highlight promising directions for developing catalysts in heterogeneous systems.
