Silver Complexes of a Novel Tripodal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand: Evidence for Significant Metal−Carbene π-Interaction
Abstract

A novel N-heterocyclic tridentate polycarbene ligand has been synthesized and stabilized as its corresponding silver complex. An electronic structure investigation reveals significant π-bonding interactions within the Ag−carbene unit of the [(TIMEMe)2Ag3]3+ cation.
