A bent dicopper –hydride cation that has an N‐heterocyclic carbene supporting ligand has a Cu‐H‐Cu angle of 122° in the solid state. Density functional theory suggests an open three‐centered metal–hydrogen interaction. The hydride reacts readily with methanol and with carbon dioxide; insertion of phenylacetylene affords a gem ‐dicopper vinyl complex.
