Summary

Calcium salts consisting of Ca²⁺ weakly coordinated by carborate counterions have been prepared through anhydrous and aqueous methods. The Ca²⁺ center is sufficiently Lewis acidic to weakly coordinate olefins, alkynes and aromatics, and catalyze the hydrosilylation of 1-hexene and several alkynes.
