title: Synthesis and structure of Ag(I), Pd(II), Rh(I), Ru(II) and Au(I) NHC-complexes with a pendant Lewis acidic boronic ester moiety.
abstract: Bifunctional Ag(I), Pd(II), Rh(I), Ru(II) and Au(I) complexes containing a NHC ligand and a pendant trivalent boron moiety have been synthesized in high yields. Fine-tuned reaction conditions were used to prevent potential ligand self-quenching or polymerization due to the eventual co-existence in situ of free NHC (Lewis base) and boronic ester (Lewis acid) in the same molecule.
