Abstract

We present the synthesis of neutral, amide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum (II) complexes with dianionic–N–CNHC–CNHC–N–(NC∗ C∗ N) tetradentate ligands. The imidazolium-and bisimidazolium bromide NHC ligand precursors with amide functionality in the side chain are reported together with the corresponding biscarbene bromido complexes and, after deprotonation, of the neutral NHC complexes without ...
