Published: February 2024

A versatile synthetic strategy for the preparation of homo- and heterobimetallic complexes bearing an unprecedented mesoionic Janus-type diNHC is presented. Moreover, its electronic property is evaluated, and a preliminary catalytic application in the direct diarylation of 1-methylpyrrole is demonstrated.

The preparations of homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes as well as thiourea and selenourea derivatives of a mesoionic Janus-type N-heterocyclic dicarbene (diNHC) are reported. Analogues of its monocationic intermediate NHC have also been obtained for comparison. Using the main group adducts, the π-acceptor properties of both NHCs were determined using low temperature Se NMR spectroscopy completing their stereoelectronic profiling.

A mesoionic bicycle, easily synthesized from a proteinogenic amino acid, l-leucine, behaves as both thiazolium-olate and diazolium-olate dipoles, as unveiled by its dipolar cycloadditions. This chameleonic reactivity has been thoroughly interpreted by dissecting the mechanistic landscape aided by the distortion-interaction model.

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.
