title: Synthesis and structural characterization of a silver complex of a mixed-donor N-heterocyclic carbene linked cyclophane.
abstract: The synthesis of a dicationic imidazolium-linked cyclophane and a dimeric silver-N-heterocyclic carbene complex, that is the first silver complex with a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand involved in a pi-bonding interaction, is reported.
