Anion is superior : NHC‐based triorganozincates, from mononuclear to trinuclear, have been synthesized. The NHC‐based triorganozincate chain (see scheme; left) was transformed into an abnormal carbene ( a NHC)‐complexed zinc ring (right) by reaction with MeOTf, closing the a NHC‐Group 12 complexes gap.
