Abstract

The first use of dipyridocarbenes as Arduengo–Wanzlick type carbene ligands for transition metal complexes is reported. The complexes M(CO) 5L (L = dipyridoimidazolinylidene, di- tert-butyldipyridoimidazolinylidene, M = Cr, W) were synthesized and their spectroscopic and structural properties compared with the literature known N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) group 6 metal pentacarbonyl complexes. This reveals that the 13C NMR carbene signals of theses complexes with dipyrido carbene ligands show the strongest high-field shift ever observed for M(CO) 5(NHC) (M = Cr, W) complexes. The structural characterization shows alternating single and double bonds in the conjugated dipyrido moiety of the ligand.
