New Structural Motifs Resulting from Internal Constraints in Chelating Bis(NHC) Ligands: A Dinuclear Ruthenium(II) Complex Featuring an η2-Arene Binding Mode and a Remarkable New Tetrameric Silver(I) Halide Form

© 2015 American Chemical Society. A novel dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex containing two ortho-xylylene-linked bis(NHC) ligands (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) has been synthesized via transmetalation from a silver-NHC complex. Each ruthenium atom in the dinuclear complex is chelated through the two...
