Varying the reaction ratio of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (cAACEt) with AlH3·NEtMe2 leads to the isolation of (cAACEtH)AlH2·NEtMe21 and (cAACEtH)2Al(μ-H)2AlH2·NEtMe22 and the first example of a monomeric dialkyl-aluminum hydride (cAACEtH)2AlH 3. VT and 1H-1H EXSY NMR experiments of 3 demonstrated the isomerization of the diastereomers of 3via the first instance of reversible hydride migration between the Al and the C center. In addition, heating solutions of 3 at 100 °C affords (cAACEtH)Al(CHC(Et)2CH2C(Me)2NC6H3(iPr)C(Me)CH2) 4 with loss of H2.

A series of significantly bulky mono- and di-substituted cyclic alkyl-amino carbene (cAAC)- functionalized cyclopentadiene ring (Cp) compounds were synthesized. The functionalization of the Cp ring with cAAC ligands makes them significantly bulkier, while retaining their ligation properties. These compounds display interesting fluorescence properties.

This species was found to undergo rapid and selective intramolecular aliphatic C-H bond activation to yield a phosphinoborenium cation, which undergoes facile deprotonation to give a cyclic base-stabilized phosphaborene. Computational investigation of the mechanism of C-H activation indicates a boron-centred activation route with an exceptionally low barrier of 8 kJ mol-1, followed by a nearly barrierless hydride migration from boron to phosphorus.

Cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC)-supported phosphaalkenides (cAACP) have been employed as ligands for the isolation of two atomically precise mixed valence paramagnetic AgI/012Cl, and AgI/010, nano-clusters [(Me-cAACP)AgCl] (2), and [(Me-cAACP)Ag](NTf) (4). 2 and 4 have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealing the presence of three Ag atoms, nine Ag ions (2); and two Ag atoms, eight Ag ions (4), respectively. The clustering inorganic unit AgCl in 2 has been found to be surrounded by six mono-anionic μ-cAACP moieties having 3-bar symmetry.

Stability problems have limited the uptake of cationic olefin metathesis catalysts in chemical biology. Described herein are anionic catalysts that improve water-solubility, robustness, and compatibility with biomolecules such as DNA. A sulfonate tag is installed on the cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) ligand platform, chosen for resistance to degradation by nucleophiles, base, water, and β-elimination.

A digermanium(III) 1,2-dication comprises two cationic centers located at two interconnected Ge atoms. The strong Coulombic repulsion between two positively charged germanium cations hinders their bond formation. Balancing these two oppositions was achieved by using amidinate and cyclic (alkyl)amino carbene (cAAC)-phosphinidenide ligands, where an amidinato cAAC-phosphinidenidogermylene complex, [LGeP(cAAC)] (, where L = PhC(NBu), cAAC = :C{C(Me)CHC(Me)NAr}, and Ar = 2,6-PrCH), underwent one-electron oxidation with a bis(phosphinidene) radical cation, [(cAAC)P], to form a digermanium(III) 1,2-dication, [LGeP(cAAC)], in compound .
