Abstract The synthesis of the divinylamido PNP nickel(II) complex [NiBr{N(CHCHPtBu2)2}] is reported. This compound exhibits reversible, ligand‐centered oxidation and protonation reactions. The resulting pincer chemical non‐innocence can be utilized for benzylic C−H hydrogen atom abstraction. The thermochemistry and kinetics of hydrogen atom transfer were examined.
