Ivan V. Koshelev, Alexander N Selikhov, Anton Cherkasov, Rinat R. Aysin, Alexander A. Trifonov Here, we report the synthesis of tris(benzhydryl) sodium calciate {[(p‑tBu‑C6H4)2CH]3Ca}Na (3) featuring the structure of a base-free contact ion pair. Catalytic amounts (2 mol%) of 3 containing earth-abundant and biogenic...
