Stable Mesoionic N‐Heterocyclic Olefins (mNHOs)

Abstract: We report a new class of stable mesoionic N‐heterocyclic olefins, featuring a highly polarized (strongly ylidic) double bond. The ground‐state structure cannot be described through an uncharged mesomeric Lewis‐structure, thereby structurally distinguishing them from traditional N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs). mNHOs can easily be obtained through deprotonation of the corresponding methylated N,N′‐diaryl‐1,2,3‐triazolium and N,N′‐diaryl‐imidazolium salts, respectively. In their reactivity, they represent strong σ… Show more

“…This classification arises from the fact that while following octet rules, no resonance structures can be drawn for MICs without charge separation, unlike their well-established N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) counterparts [5,[7][8][9]. Therefore, not surprisingly, the synthetic scope of MICs has expanded rapidly, opening up the possibility of introducing additional donor substituents, such as pyridine, to generate bidentate ligands [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] or post-modifications to N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) [17,18] and mesoionic imines (MIIs) [19,20], which are promising candidates for small molecule activation [5]. Suntrup et al showed in 2017 that the insertion of a pyridyl moiety into 1,2,3-triazoleand 1,4-triazolylidene-based Re(I) carbonyl complexes drastically improves the overall π acceptor character of the ligand, while the incorporation of an MIC unit results in a greater σ donor strength compared to the well-established bpy ligand [21].…”
