A highly efficient and general protocol for traceless, directed C3-selective C–H borylation of
indoles with [Ni (IMes) 2] as the catalyst is reported. Activation and borylation of N–H bonds …

Bis-NHC precursors composed of an azolium and a 2-halogenoazole group connected by
different linkers have been site-selectively metallated to give heterobimetallic complexes …

Two new gold (I) complexes with a di (N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand (diNHC) derived from
caffeine have been synthesised by a base-assisted metalation of the appropriate di …

Using a pincer platform based on a bridgehead NHC donor with functional side arms, the
combined effect of increased flexibility in six‐membered pyrimidine‐type heterocycles …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are intensively used in transition-metal-catalyzed
reactions. Their bond-activation reactions, however, are much less understood. We now …

Various 8-halogenotheophyllines (halogen= Cl, Br, I) were selectively C8 metalated by an
oxidative addition of the C8–halogen bond to [Pd (PPh3) 4] to give the PdII azolato …

One equivalent of methanol-d 4 reacts with the iridium (III)-carbonato-NHC complex [Ir
(Cp*)(NHC-theo)(O2CO)][1] containing an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand with an N-tethered …

The IrIII hydrido complexes [1] and [2] have been synthesized by the regioselective oxidative
addition of the N7–H bond of 8-halogenotheophyllines to [IrCl (coe) 2] 2 in the presence of …

The ligand N, N'-bis (salicylidene) ethylenediamine has been synthesized from the
condensation of salicylaldehyde with ethylenediamine and, after isolation in the solid forms …

Abstract The 4, 4'‐dimethylenebiphenyl linked symmetric bis‐(2‐chlorobenzimidazole) 1
and the unsymmetric 2‐chlorobenzimidazolium/2‐chlorobenzimidazole 2 (BF4) have been …
