Abstract
A facile way of accessing the second lone pair of carbodicarbene through “turn off” of the π-accepting ability of the flanking NHC is reported. The formation of gem-double dative bimetallic of carbodicarbene from versatile mononuclear Pd and Ni complexes contributes to serve as a paradigm shift away from relying on traditionally tedious synthetic methods to access the second “hidden” lone pair. Most importantly, these results open a new gateway for possible cooperative bimetallic chemistry and catalysis based on the C(0). More information can be found in the Communication by W.-C. Chen, L. Zhao, T.-G. Ong, et al. on page 17350.
