Abstract

Oxidative addition: complexes containing an anionic NHC ligand with an unsubstituted nitrogen atom within the heterocycle have been prepared by oxidative addition of 2-chloro-N-methylbenzimidazole to Ni(0) and Pt(0). The "naked" nitrogen atom of the NHC ligand reacts as a strong nucleophile.
