title: A simple access to transition metal cyclopropenylidene complexes.
abstract: We report the first example of BAC-Cu complex (BAC = bis(diisopropylamino)cyclopropenylidene) and its use as a carbene-transfer reagent, allowing access to Au-, Pd-, Ir- and Rh-BAC compounds. Catalytic experiments show the high activity of the [CuCl(BAC)] complex in Click chemistry.
