Accessing Zinc Monohydride Cations through Coordinative Interactions

We present isolable examples of formal zinc hydride cations supported by N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) donors, and investigate the dual electrophilic and nucleophilic (hydridic) character of the encapsulated [ZnH]+ units by computational methods and preliminary hydrosilylation catalysis. A positive a...

Zusammenfassung:	We present isolable examples of formal zinc hydride cations supported by N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) donors, and investigate the dual electrophilic and nucleophilic (hydridic) character of the encapsulated [ZnH]+ units by computational methods and preliminary hydrosilylation catalysis. A positive approach: Isolable examples of formal zinc hydride cations supported by N‐heterocyclic carbene donors are prepared. The dual electrophilic and nucleophilic (hydridic) character of the encapsulated [ZnH]+ units was investigated by computational methods and hydrosilylation catalysis.
