Origin of the Ligand Ring‐Size Effect on the Catalytic Activity of Cationic Calcium Hydride Dimers in the Hydrogenation of Unactivated 1‐Alkenes

Abstract Recently, it was shown that the double Ca−H−Ca‐bridged calcium hydride cation dimer [LCaH2CaL]2+ when stabilized by a larger macrocyclic N,N’,N’’,N’’’,N’’’’‐pentadentate ligand showed evidently higher activity than when stabilized by a smaller N,N’,N’’,N’’’‐tetradentate ligand in the cataly...
