Abstract

Abstract : Synthesis and characterization of novel NHC-boronic ester ligands and their corresponding TM-complexes. Abstract : Bifunctional Ag(i ), Pd(ii ), Rh(i ), Ru(ii ) and Au(i ) complexes containing a NHC ligand and a pendant trivalent boron moiety have been synthesized in high yields. Fine-tuned reaction conditions were used to prevent potential ligand self-quenching or polymerization due to the eventual co-existence in situ of free NHC (Lewis base) and boronic ester (Lewis acid) in the same molecule.
