Abstract
Not so innocent: Sterically tuneable dithiocarboxylate ligands derived from N-heterocyclic carbenes act as excellent bidentate chelates for ruthenium(II) σ-alkenyl complexes. However, the most sterically demanding member of the ligand family causes a fascinating and unexpected rearrangement to occur (see figure; ICy=1,3-dicylohexylimidazolium, IDip=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium). Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They are made available as submitted by the authors. Please note: The publisher is not responsible for the content or functionality of any supporting information supplied by the authors.
