Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Solubility problems solved</bold>: The first examples of discrete soluble zinc dihydride adducts with NHC ligands reacted with CO₂ to produce formate species and efficiently catalyzed the dehydrocoupling of silanes with methanol. These compounds were characterized both in solution and in the solid state (see picture).<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xps7mf1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
