Article Abstract

Thermal activation of terpyridine in the presence of an unsaturated Ir(III) fragment stabilized by a hydrotris(pyrazolyl) borate ligand gives rise to mononuclear complex and binuclear , in which the polypyridine behaves, respectively, as a mono- or a bi-dentate N-heterocyclic carbene.

Fluorescent N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes are useful for various chemical and biological applications. In this study, we developed a simple strategy to synthesize BODIPY-linked NHC metal complexes involving Ag, Cu, Ni, and Pd. The synthesis began with the preparation of BODIPY-imidazolium salt as a precursor ligand.

-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications due to their high stability and strong photoluminescence. However, their integration into atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which facilitates an understanding of their behavior in biological environments, has been hindered by the lack of reliable force field parameters. Here, we present a new set of parameters for classical MD simulations of NHC-protected AuNCs, fully compatible with the AMBER force field.

Heavy alkali metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes.

N-Heterocyclic carbene complexes of alkali metals (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) were prepared from the zwitterionic trimethylsilylimidazolium borate [(CF)B(IDipp)SiMe] (1) by reaction with the corresponding alkali metal -butoxides MOBu. The alkali metal complexes were isolated as tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvates of the type [(CF)B(IDipp)M(THF), 2M(THF), and their molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Organocatalysis promoted by 1,2,3-triazolylidenes (MICs): carbenes which make a difference.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) hold a unique significance in organometallic catalysis and are powerful organocatalysts for a variety of organic transformations involving crucial intermediates such as Breslow intermediates (BIs), deprotonated BIs (BI-s), ketyl radicals (KRs), and acyl azoliums (AAs). To address the remaining challenges facing reactions catalyzed by NHCs, non-classical stable carbenes, namely 1,2,3-triazolylidenes (MICs), cousins of NHCs, have shown great potential. MICs share similar features with typical NHCs but possess unique characteristics, such as enhanced σ-donor ability and absence of dimerization.
