Experimental and quantum chemical studies of anionic analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes.

A combination of quantum chemical and synthetic/crystallographic methods have been employed to probe electronic structure in two series of anionic ligands related to the well known N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) class of donor. Analyses of (i) the respective frontier orbital energies/compositions for...
