Abstract

Discrete two-coordinate ZnII organocations of the type (NHC)Zn-R+ are reported, thanks to NHC stabilization. In preliminary reactivity studies, such entities, which are direct cationic analogues of long-known ZnR2 species, act as effective and tunable π-Lewis acid catalysts in alkene, alkyne, and CO2 hydrosilylation.
