Hypervalent zinc(i) complexes with an NNNN-macrocycle: C–H bond activation across the zinc(i)–zinc(i) bond

Abstract

Hetero- and homoleptic dinuclear zinc(I) complexes containing the macrocycle Me4TACD (N,N′,N′′,N′′′-1,4,7,10-tetramethylcyclododecane) were prepared; the heteroleptic complex [(Me4TACD)Zn–ZnCp*]+ reacted with activated hydrocarbons R–H (R = CH2CN, C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh) to give the corresponding hydrocarbyl zinc(II) complexes [(Me4TACD)ZnR]+.
