title: Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a dinuclear metal complex with linear M-H-M bonding.
abstract: Reaction of two equiv of 1-adamantylzinc bromide with (dippm)NiBr2 (dippm = bis(di-isopropylphosphino)methane) led to a dinuclear metal complex containing a unique linear bridging hydride ligand. The hydride was characterized by neutron diffraction methods, which confirmed a linear bonding mode. Preliminary reactivity studies of this unusual dimer are reported.
