title: Stable Bis(diisopropylamino)cyclopropenylidene (BAC) as Ligand for Transition Metal Complexes.
abstract: Several nickel(0), palladium(II), and rhodium(I) complexes have been prepared using for the first time the stable bis(diisopropylamino)cyclopropenylidene (BAC). Based on single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and spectroscopic data, the structural and electronic properties of these complexes are discussed. Moreover, their similarities and differences with the analogous NHC complexes are emphasized.
