RT Journal Article T1 Coinage metal complexes bearing fluorinated N-Heterocyclic carbene ligands A1 Delgado Rebollo, Manuela A1 García Morales, Cristina A1 Maya, Celia A1 Prieto Cárdenas, María Auxiliadora A1 Echavarren, Antonio M. A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB The synthesis of novel fluorinated symmetrical and unsymmetrical imidazolium salts as well as their corresponding coinage metal complexes is described. The silver derivatives were prepared using Ag2O as the metal source and the subsequent (NHC)AgX complexes were successfully employed in the preparation of the corresponding Cu(I) and Au(I) complexes through transmetallation reactions. Halide extrusion from (NHC)AuCl complexes in the presence of labile ligands also allowed the isolation of Au(I) cationic complexes [(NHC)Au(L)]X. The molecular structures of relevant examples of the neutral and ionic complexes have been unambiguously determined by X-ray studies.
