Bisisocyanide complexes of Zn(II) halides: Synthesis, structure, and application in the catalysis of isocyanides reaction with secondary amines
Isocyanide zinc complexes [ZnX2(CNR)2] (X = Cl, Br, I; R = Xyl, Cy, But) have been prepared via the interaction of the corresponding zinc halides ZnX2 and isocyanide CNR in toluene at 100°C (yield 64–77%) and ch
