TL;DR: Nickel boride, prepared from the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate with sodium borohydride in methanol-tetrahydrofuran, reduces benzothiophenes to alkylbenzenes and dibenzothiophenses to biphenyls as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Nickel boride, prepared from the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate with sodium borohydride in methanol-tetrahydrofuran, reduces benzothiophenes to alkylbenzenes and dibenzothiophenes to biphenyls. The reaction is rapid at or below room temperature and does not require protection from the atmosphere. Best results are obtained when the nickel boride is generated in situ in the presence of the sulfur compound. Hydroxyl, carboxyl, ester, and amino groups are unaffected while chloro, bromo, and nitro substituents are also reduced under these conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a novel technique to prepare Nickel Borides using Diborane-THF complex generated "in-situ" as reducing agent, is presented, where solid NiCls of different mesh size were added to the reducing complex to prepare nickel boride by HETEROGENEOUS route.
