Graphical Abstract
A couple of carbenes: By utilizing stable carbenes with low-lying LUMOs, coupling with the stable nucleophilic diaminocyclopropenylidene was achieved. This coupling resulted in the formation of two new and rare examples of a bent allene as well as the isolation of the first carbene–carbene heterodimer. Dipp=2,6-iPr2C6H3, Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2.

- 21We estimate the barrier value from the Eyring equation, that is, k=(kB T/h) exp(−ΔG≠/R T), where k is the rate constant, kB is Boltzmann’s constant, h is Planck’s constant, ΔG≠ is the activation free energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature. Assuming the concentration of each reactant is 1 mol L−1 and the second-order rate constant k of a reaction whose half-life is 24 h is 1.2×10−5 L mol−1 s−1, we find that ΔG≠ is 24.6 kcal mol−1 at 30 °C.
