Bei der C‐H‐Aktivierung von Imidazoliumsalzen durch koordinativ ungesättigte niedervalente Ni‐ und Pd‐Komplexe entstehen unter milden Bedingungen erstaunlich stabile Hydridokomplexe mit N‐heterocyclischen Carbenliganden (siehe Schema). Das zeigt, wie leicht ionische Flüssigkeiten mit Imidazolium‐Kationen bei Katalysen mit Übergangsmetallkomplexen reagieren können.
CommentThe 2:1 adduct of 6-methyl-2-aminopyridine and LiBr crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer with doubly bridging bromides. This structure is reminiscent of the related 2:1 complexes formed between 2-methylpyridine and LiCl, LiBr or LiI.[1] Perhaps surprisingly, the present complex is not isostructural with the isoelectronic adducts of 2,6-dimethylpyridine and LiBr where a 1.5:1 complex crystallizes as a tetranuclear ladder type structure.[2] The over-riding influence affecting the overall structure in the present dimer may be the inter-and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds formed between N-H donors and Br acceptors forming polymeric strands between adjacent dimers. The intramolecular hydrogen bond formed between
