Influence of bulky yet flexible N-heterocyclic carbene ligands in gold catalysis

Three new Au(I) complexes of the formula [Au(NHC)(NTf2)] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) bearing bulky and flexible ligands have been synthesised. The ligands studied are IPent, IHept and INon which belong to the ‘ITent’ (‘Tent’ for ‘tentacular’) family of NHC derivatives. The effect of these ligands...
