Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A bent dicopper</bold>–hydride cation that has an N‐heterocyclic carbene supporting ligand has a Cu‐H‐Cu angle of 122° in the solid state. Density functional theory suggests an open three‐centered metal–hydrogen interaction. The hydride reacts readily with methanol and with carbon dioxide; insertion of phenylacetylene affords a <italic>gem</italic>‐dicopper vinyl complex.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t79zw77" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
