Bismuth Meets Olefins: Ethylene Activation and Reversible Alkene Insertion into Bi─N Bonds

Abstract

Terminal olefins - including the benchmark substrate ethylene - selectively insert into a Bi-N bond due to ring strain and the presence of a Lewis acidic (positively charged) bismuth center. The reactions proceed reversibly and show a preference towards soft substrates.
