title: C-H activation in Ir(III) and N-demethylation in Pt(II) complexes with mesoionic carbene ligands: examples of monometallic, homobimetallic and heterobimetallic complexes.
abstract: Mononuclear Pt(II) and the first dinuclear Pt(II) complexes along with a cyclometalated heterobimetallic Ir(III)/Pd(II) complex bearing mesoionic carbene donor ligands are presented starting from the same bis-triazolium salt. The mononuclear Pt(II) complex possesses a free triazole moiety which is generated from the corresponding triazolium salt through an N-demethylation reaction, whereas the mononuclear Ir(III) complex features an unreacted triazolium unit.
