Example 17ZnCl₂is at least partially separated from the nickel complex of Examples 1 to 12 then the nickel complex of Ligand A contacts BD and HC≡N in a reaction zone. A catalyst forms to produce 3PN, 2M3BN, or a combination thereof. The same nickel complexes also react with 2M3BN to produce 3PN.Nickel complexes of Ligand B of Example 16 contact HC≡N and BD in a reaction zone. A catalyst forms to produce 3PN, 2M3BN, or a combination thereof. The same nickel complexes also react with 2M3BN to produce 3PN.In the presence of a Lewis acid promoter, like ZnCl₂, the soluble nickel complexes of Ligand A from bottle reactors of Examples 1 to 12 contact HC≡N and 3PN in a reaction zone. A catalyst forms converting greater than 90% of the 3PN to dinitriles comprising ADN, MGN, and ESN, with an ADN distribution of 95-96%. The ADN distribution equals 100%*wt % ADN/(wt % ADN+wt % MGN+wt % ESN), as determined by gas chromatography (GC).In the presence of a Lewis acid promoter, like ZnCl₂, the soluble nickel complexes of Ligand A from bottle reactors of Examples 1 to 12 contact HC≡N and 2PN in a reaction zone. A catalyst forms converting a portion of the 2PN to 3PN, 4PN, and ADN.In the presence of a Lewis acid promoter, like ZnCl₂, triphenylboron, or compounds of the chemical formula [Ni(C₄H₇C≡N)₆][(C₆H₅)₃BC≡NB(C₆H₅)₃]₂as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,749,801, the nickel complexes of Example 16 contact HC≡N and 3PN in a reaction zone. A catalyst forms converting 3PN to dinitriles comprising ADN, MGN, and ESN, wherein ADN is the major dinitrile product.
