Abstract

A new class of bis(acyclic imino)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NCN pincer) ligand precursors was synthesized and structurally characterized. In situ deprotonation using a basic metal precursor resulted in the corresponding copper(I) complexes in good yields. Monometallic and bimetallic structures were observed in the solid state depending on the ligand substitution pattern.
