Article Abstract
The α-diimine-ligated Zn-Zn-bonded compound [K(THF)][LZn-ZnL] (, L = [(2,6-PrCH)NC(Me)]) displays diverse reactivities toward a variety of ketones. In the reaction of with benzophenone or 4,4'-di--butylbenzophenone, a multielectron transfer process was observed to give bimetallic (Zn/K) complexes with both ketyl radical fragments and C-C coupled pinacolate moieties (products and ). In contrast, treating with 9-fluorenone only afforded pinacolate complex . Moreover, the reactions of with N- or O-heterocycle-functionalized ketones, i.e., di(2-pyridyl)ketone, 2,2-pyrrolidinone, 9-xanthenone, or 10-methyl-9(10H)-acridone, were also carried out. Besides different transformations of the ketone moiety, the heteroatoms (nitrogen or oxygen) are also involved in coordination with zinc or potassium ions, yielding discrete aggregates or polymeric structures of products -.

This work provides a facile access to a series of triangular [ZnM] (M = group 10 and 11 metals) clusters. Treatment of Zn-Zn-bonded compounds [Zn-Zn] ( = CHC(2,6-PrCHN)CHC(CH)(NCHCHPR); R = Ph, Pr) with zero-valent transition-metal reagents selectively afforded the corresponding triangular clusters [ZnM], where M = Ni(0), Pd(0), and Pt(0). Notably, the isoelectronic triangular clusters [ZnM], where M = Ag(I) and Cu(I), could also be obtained by reactions of [LZn-ZnL] with AgOTf and CuOTf, respectively.

The access to molecules comprising direct Zn-Zn bonds has become very topical in recent years for various reasons. Low-valent organozinc compounds show remarkable reactivities, and larger Zn-Zn-bonded gas-phase species exhibit a very unusual coexistence of insulating and metallic properties. However, as Zn atoms do not show a high tendency to form clusters in condensed phases, synthetic approaches for generating purely inorganic metalloid Zn units under ambient conditions have been lacking so far.

The discovery of decamethyldizincocene [Zn(2)(η(5)-Cp*)(2)] (Cp* = C(5)Me(5)), the first complex containing a covalent zinc-zinc bond, by Carmona in 2004 initiated the search for this remarkable class of compounds. Low-valent organozinc complexes can either be formed by ligand substitution reactions of [Zn(2)(η(5)-Cp*)(2)] or by reductive coupling reactions of Zn(ii) compounds. To the best of our knowledge, until now 25 low-valent Zn-Zn bonded molecular compounds stabilized by a variety of sterically demanding, very often chelating, organic ligands have been synthesized and characterized.

The Zn-Zn bonded compound [(η(5)-Cp*)(2)Zn(2)] was investigated as catalyst for the inter- and intramolecular hydroamination reaction. High reaction rates under mild conditions were observed. This is the first application of a Zn-Zn bonded compound as catalyst.
