The di-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) stabilized stannyliumylidene, [TerSn(IMe)][BArF], (Ter = 2,6-MesCH, Mes = 2,4,6-Me-CH, IMe = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene, BArF = (3,5-(CF)-CH)B), was isolated from the reaction of (Ter)SnCl with two equivalents of IMe, followed by one equivalent of Na[BArF]. This stannyliumylidene acts as a precatalyst for the homogeneous hydrosilylation of CO. Experimental mechanistic studies and quantum chemical calculations have been conducted to elucidate the catalytically active species and the mechanism for the transformation, revealing the stannyliumylidene [TerSn(COIMe)][BArF], which is formed in the presence of CO, as the catalytically active species.
二氮杂环卡宾(NHCs)稳定的亚锡叶立德[TerSn(IMe)][BArF](Ter = 2,6-MesCH,Mes = 2,4,6-Me₂CH,IMe = 1,3,4,5-四甲基咪唑-2-亚基,BArF = (3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃)₄B)是由(Ter)₂SnCl与两当量的IMe反应,再加入一当量的Na[BArF]后分离得到的。这种亚锡叶立德作为CO均相硅氢化反应的预催化剂。已进行了实验机理研究和量子化学计算以阐明催化活性物种和转化机理,结果表明在CO存在下形成的亚锡叶立德[TerSn(COIMe)][BArF]是催化活性物种。
