Able to be stable : The reaction of diethylzinc and bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine yields the title complex by C–C coupling and deamination reactions. This complex is dimeric in the solid state (see structure; orange Zn, blue N, gray C). The pyridyl substituents enable the formation of a rare example of a bis(alkylzinc)imide.
