Published: April 2010

The use of two metal systems cis-Pt(NHC)(2)Me(2) and cis-Ir(NHC)(CO)(2)Cl help to highlight the flexibility of a series of cycloalkyl-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (ICy, ICy(7), ICy(8), ICy(12)). Bond dissociation enthalpies of several N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in cis-Pt(NHC)(2)Me(2) are estimated. Electronic and steric parameters of the ICy(n) ligands are quantified and discussed.
