摘要: A series of iso-structural complexes [(SIPr)AgX] (X = Cl, Br, I, OTf; SIPr 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolidene) were synthesised, including the first example a N-heterocyclic carbene silver(I) complex containing an O-bound triflate. Bond Energy Dissociation and Natural Orbitals for Chemical Valence bond analyses (BEDA & ETS-NOCV) revealing significant NHC → M σ-back-donation, which influences stability sigma-donicity these complexes.
