Tuning the electronic properties of an N-heterocyclic carbene by charge and mesomeric effects.

چکیده
N-Methylation of a pyridoimidazolium salt and subsequent deprotonation afford a cationic NHC ligand. The spectroscopic characteristics of its Rh and Ir metal complexes reveal the reduced donor and enforced π-acceptor behaviour of this ligand system.

Piano-Stool Iron(II) Complexes as Probes for the Bonding of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Indications for π-Acceptor Ability
A series of new piano-stool iron(II) complexes comprising monoand bidentate chelating N-heterocyclic carbene ligands [Fe(cp)(CO)(NHC)(L)]X have been prepared and analyzed by spectroscopic, electrochemical, crystallographic, and theoretical methods. Selectively substituting the L site with a series of ligands going from carbene to pyridine to CO suggests that CO is the strongest π acceptor, whil...
متن کاملZwitterionic borane adducts of N-heterocyclic carbenes from mesomeric betaines of uracil.
We prepared a series of imidazolium-substituted uracil-anions which are members of the class of cross-conjugated heterocyclic mesomeric betaines. They are in tautomeric equilibrium with their N-heterocyclic carbenes, uracil-6-yl-imidazol-2-ylidenes. These carbenes can be trapped by reaction with sulfur, selenium, as well as by triethylborane and triphenylborane, respectively. The latter trappin...
متن کاملFrom betaines to anionic N-heterocyclic carbenes. Borane, gold, rhodium, and nickel complexes starting from an imidazoliumphenolate and its carbene tautomer
The mesomeric betaine imidazolium-1-ylphenolate forms a borane adduct with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane by coordination with the phenolate oxygen, whereas its NHC tautomer 1-(2-phenol)imidazol-2-ylidene reacts with (triphenylphosphine)gold(I) chloride to give the cationic NHC complex [Au(NHC)2][Cl] by coordination with the carbene carbon atom. The anionic N-heterocyclic carbene 1-(2-phenolate)...
متن کاملStructural diversity of copper(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes; ligand tuning facilitates isolation of the first structurally characterised copper(I)-NHC containing a copper(I)-alkene interaction.
The preparation of a series of imidazolium salts bearing N-allyl substituents, and a range of substituents on the second nitrogen atom that have varying electronic and steric properties, is reported. The ligands have been coordinated to a copper(I) centre and the resulting copper(I)-NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes have been thoroughly examined, both in solution and in the solid-state...
متن کاملSynthesis and structural investigation of R2Si (R = Me, Ph) bridged di-N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Functionalization of the C4 carbon of an imidazol-derived N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) may allow fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the C2 carbene center. A facile route to silyl-functionalized di-N-heterocyclic carbenes (Di-NHCs) is described. Treatment of the polymeric lithiated NHC, {Li(IPrH)}n (1) (Li(IPrH) = {(N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)2CHCLi}C:) with a dichlorosilane affords mono...
