Nickel-catalyzed dehydrogenative Zn–Zn coupling to a Zn( <scp>i</scp> ) dimer and its reactivity
High-yield access to a bis-guanidinate zinc(I) dimer was achieved <i>via</i> 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.
