Abstract

AbstractTwo highly labile silver carbene cluster complexes are described, which are unique in that they mark the transition point at which the carbene center transmutes from a fairly common NHC‐like nucleophilic behavior to an electrophilic character befitting reactive silver carbene intermediates of relevance in various catalytic transformations. This amphoteric character is the distinguishing attribute of a μ‐bridged donor/donor carbene entity that connects two silver atoms of triangular or tetrahedral metallic core units.
