The first direct observation of the tautomeric equilibrium between mesoionic imidazolium aminides (IA) and amino NHCs (AC) shows its dependence on the aminide substituent. A potassium (imidazol-2-ylidenyl)(anilide), an ion-pair with the 'free' anionic NHC, and potassium organometallic polymers, with the repeat unit exhibiting 'Janus-type' coordination, are reported.

Mesoionic compounds are the starting material for the synthesis of unique anionic N-heterocyclic carbenes. Herein, mesoionic imidazolium pyrrolides synthesized from pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde via various -alkyl-4-pyrroyl-imidazoles are described. These were converted into nine new 4-(pyrrol-2-yl)-substituted imidazolium salts and transformed into the mesoionic title compounds using an anion exchange resin.

The synthesis of zwitterionic dithiocarboxylate adducts was achieved by deprotonating various aldiminium or 1,2,3-triazolium salts with a strong base, followed by the nucleophilic addition of the in situ-generated cyclic (alkyl)(amino) or mesoionic carbenes (CAACs or MICs) onto carbon disulfide. Nine novel compounds were isolated and fully characterized by H and C NMR, FTIR, and HRMS techniques. Moreover, the molecular structures of two CAAC·CS and two MIC·CS betaines were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Dichalcogenolenes are archetypal redox non-innocent ligands with numerous applications. Herein, a diselenolene ligand with fundamentally different electronic properties is described. A mesoionic diselenolene was prepared by selenation of a C2-protected imidazolium salt.

We report a new class of stable mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefins, featuring a highly polarized (strongly ylidic) double bond. The ground-state structure cannot be described through an uncharged mesomeric Lewis-structure, thereby structurally distinguishing them from traditional N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs). mNHOs can easily be obtained through deprotonation of the corresponding methylated N,N'-diaryl-1,2,3-triazolium and N,N'-diaryl-imidazolium salts, respectively.

The reaction of SIPr, [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene] (1), with C F led to the formation of an unprecedented mesoionic compound (2). The formation of 2 is made accessible by deprotonation of the SIPr backbone with simultaneous elimination of HF. The C-F bond para to the imidazolium ring in 2 is only of 1.
