Abstract
The Lewis-acidic metal ion Be2+ forms stable adducts with the carbene 1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene (L). The pronounced nucleophilicity of the ligand is encountered in the cleavage of the polymeric structure of BeCl2 with consecutive heterolysis to yield the ionic coordination compound [L3BeCl]+Cl-.
