Analogous carbene-stabilised [M^I-(η⁶-tol)]⁺ cations (M = Fe, Co, Ni): synthetic access and [carbene·M^I]⁺ transfer

Abstract

A series of low-coordinate cationic 3d metal(I) complexes of the general formula [IPr·M(η6-tol)]+ is reported (M = Fe, Co, Ni; IPr = [(H)CN(Dip)C:]; Dip = 2,6-iPr2-C6H3), employing the weakly coordinating...
