Sulfonate- or carboxylate-functionalized N-heterocyclic bis-carbene ligands and related water soluble silver complexes.
New N-heterocyclic carbene ligand precursors {H(2)C(HTz(R))(2)} and {H(2)C(HIm(R))(2)} (HTz = 1,2,4-triazole; HIm = imidazole; R = PrSO(3) or EtCOO) were obtained starting from the compounds bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methane and bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane. The related silver(i) carbene complexes were prepared in degassed water solution by treatment of the triazolium or imidazolium species with Ag(2)O, resulting in well-characterized and water soluble bimetallic complexes of general formula {Na(2)[H(2)C(Tz(R))(2)](2)Ag(2)} and {Na(2)[H(2)C(Im(R))(2)](2)Ag(2)}. In these metallacycles every silver atom is coordinated to two triazolin- or imidazolin-2-ylidene rings, belonging to two different dicarbene units.
