title: Facile synthesis of [(NHC)MX(cod)] and [(NHC)MCl(CO)2] (M = Rh, Ir; X = Cl, I) complexes.
abstract: The reactions of [MCl(cod)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) with different NHC·HX (X = Cl, I), K2CO3 in technical grade acetone under air provide simple access to various [(NHC)MX(cod)] complexes; a facile one-pot synthesis of [(NHC)MCl(CO)2] (M = Rh, Ir) is also reported.
