Abstract The addition reactions of N,N′-bis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine (1) with [(cod)2Ni] and [(Ph3P)AuCl] yield yellow [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) and colorless [(1)(Ph3P)AuCl]·3MeOH (3), respectively. In these transition metal complexes of nickel(0) and gold(I) 1 acts as a bidentate chelating ligand. Crystal structures of [(1)Ni(η4-cod)]·3THF (2a) and of cosolvent-free [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) reveal a distorted tetrahedral environment of the nickel atom. The gold(I) atom in 3 exhibits a very long Au-Cl bond of 296.2(1) pm. In contrast to the nickel complexes, compound 3 shows strong agostic interactions between gold(I) and a methylene fragment.

A series of Lewis acid–base pairs containing sterically demanding carbenes were investigated for hydrogen activation that could potentially be reversible for use in hydrogen storage applications. When electron-rich boranes are employed as electrophiles, the imidazolium cation is reduced to a 2H-imidazoline (aminal). The aminals were synthesized independently by reduction of imidazolium cations with strong reducing agents. Carbocations were also found to act as electrophiles for hydrogen activation. Preliminary results revealed that it is possible to reduce an alcohol to an alkane using hydrogen gas as a reducing agent in these systems. Finally, it was demonstrated that a transition metal can be used as an electrophile to activate hydrogen through heterolytic cleavage.
