The tight ion pair [EtZn(η3-C6H 6)][CHB11Cl11]?C6H6 (1?C6H6) was obtained through β-hydrogen abstraction and concomitant ethene elimination from Et2Zn with the trityl salt [Ph3C][CHB11Cl11]. This ionlike species shows catalytic activity in hydrosilylation and intramolecular hydroamination reactions. The amine adduct {CH2CHCH 2C(Ph2)CH2NH2}3ZnCB 11Cl11 (3), which features a rare transition metal-carborane σ bond, was isolated from a hydroamination experiment.
