Mercury complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes derived from imidazolium-linked cyclophanes: synthesis, structure, and reactivity

A range of mercury-imidazolylidene complexes have been prepared by reaction of imidazolium-linked cyclophanes with mercury(II) acetate. For cyclophanes based on meta-xylyl groups the mercury complexes are mononuclear and exhibit unprecedented structures in which the mercury atom is bound within the...
