Abstract
The bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized stannyliumylidene, [MesTerSn(IMe4)2][BArF], (MesTer = 2,6-Mes2C6H3, Mes = 2,4,6-Me3-C6H2, IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene, BArF = (3,5-(CF3)2-C6H5)4B), was isolated in the reaction of (MesTer)SnCl with two equivalents of IMe4, followed by one equivalent of NaBArF. This stannyliumylidene acts as a precatalyst for the homogeneous hydrosilylation of CO2. Experimental mechanistic studies and quantum chemical calculations have been conducted to elucidate the catalytically active species and the mechanism of the catalytic reaction, revealing the stannyliumylidene [MesTerSn(CO2IMe4)2][BArF], which is formed in the presence of CO2 as the catalytically active species.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
