Nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative Zn–Zn coupling to a Zn( i ) dimer and its reactivity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: nickel-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of a zinc(II) hydride. Reactions of Zn(I) dimer with diphenyl dichalcogenides and sulfur resulted in the formation of zinc chalcogenolates and a rare zinc(II) hexasulfide, respectively. Protonolysis of the zinc chalcogenolates afforded zinc hydroxide or phenoxide complexes.
