Discovered as early as 1844,[1] copper (I) hydride complexes have attracted considerable interest. In combination with a hydrosilane, as a hydride source, they promote the hydrosilylation of ketones and aldehydes, and they are efficient catalysts in the regioselective conjugate reduction of a number of carbonyl derivatives, including unsaturated ke-tones, aldehydes, and esters.[2] The most extensively studied copper hydride is certainly the hexameric [(Ph3P) CuH] 6, first described by Osborn et al.[3] and then developed as a useful synthetic tool by Stryker et al.[4] Despite the numerous applications of the Stryker reagent, several studies have focused on the synthesis of copper hydride complexes of lower nuclearity. Huang et al.[5] reported the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the trinuclear (μ3-H) dicationic complex A (< Figure 1). Caulton et al.[6] attempted to generate a mononuclear four-coordinate CuI complex containing a terminal hydride, but obtained and crystallographically characterized the dinuclear complex B of type [L2CuH] 2. More recently, Lipshutz et al.[7] have prepared complex C featuring the bidentate (R)-DTBM-segphos ligand.[8] This tricoordinate mononuclear complex is exceptionally stable since it can be stored in solution for weeks at room temperature, if kept under argon; however, it has only been spectroscopically identified by a 1H NMR signal corresponding to the hydride at δ= 2.55 ppm.In the last few years, it has been shown that N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were able to stabilize highly reactive main-group species,[9] and also low-coordinate metal centers.[10, 11] Using this property, Sadighi et al.[12] reported the preparation of the dimeric (NHC) copper hydride complex D. The authors stated that this complex “is somewhat unstable, persisting long enough in solution at ambient temperature to permit the easy recording of its 1H NMR spectrum but decomposing considerably after 1 h in solution or after several days in the solid form”. However, despite its instability, they managed on a very small scale to obtain single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction. Note that the 1H NMR of a very similar (NHC) CuH complex was reported by Nolan et al.[13] but described as too unstable to be isolated.
