title: Reactivity of gold nanoparticles towards N-heterocyclic carbenes.
abstract: The reaction of gold nanoparticles with benzimididazol-2-ylidene ligands leads to the formation of well-defined bis-carbene gold(i) complexes, as shown by characterization techniques such as powder XRD and solid state NMR.
