Diphenylzinc is an organozinc compound. It is commonly used as the synthetic equivalent of a Ph⁻ synthon. Solvent-free diphenylzinc exists as dimeric PhZn(μ-Ph)₂ZnPh molecules in solid state.[1]

The dimeric solid state form of diphenylzinc.

Diphenylzinc is commercially available. It may be prepared by reaction of phenyllithium with zinc bromide:[2]

2 PhLi + ZnBr₂ → Ph₂Zn + 2 LiBr

It may also be prepared by the reaction of diphenylmercury with zinc metal.[3]
