Reaction of dibenzyl calcium complex [Ca(Me 4 TACD)(CH 2 Ph) 2 ], containing the neutral NNNN‐type macrocyclic ligand Me 4 TACD (Me 4 TACD=1,4,7,10‐tetramethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane), with triphenylsilane gave the cationic dinuclear calcium hydride [Ca 2 H 2 (Me 4 TACD) 2 ](PhCHSiPh 3 ) 2 which was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The cation can be regarded as the ligand‐stabilized dimeric form of hypothetical [CaH] + . Hydrogenolysis of benzyl calcium cation [Ca(Me 4 TACD)(CH 2 Ph)(thf)] + gave dicationic calcium hydrides [Ca 2 H 2 (Me 4 TACD) 2 ][BAr 4 ] 2 (Ar=C 6 H 4 ‐4‐ t Bu; C 6 H 3 ‐3,5‐Me 2 ) containing weakly coordinating anions. In THF, they catalyzed the isotope exchange of H 2 and D 2 to give HD and the hydrogenation of unactivated 1‐alkenes.
