Abstract:A C,N-bidentate
hybrid benzothiazolyl-NHC ligand (L) with a flexible
−CH2– linker between the two moieties is
devised. Classical deprotonation of the corresponding imidazolium
bromide LHBr by M2O (M = Cu, Ag) affords
the [(L)MBr] complexes 1 (M = Cu) and 2 (M
= Ag), where the ligand L is monodentate by binding through the NHC
only. A transmetalation with [Rh(COD)2]BF4 from
both gives the cationic Rh(I) complex [(L)Rh(COD)]BF4 (3), which turns out to be a decent air-stable
catalyst for olefin hydrosilylation gi… Show more
