The first examples of BMes2-functionalized NHC chelate ligands have been achieved. Their
Pt (II) acetylacetonate complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized. These …

Tris-and tetrakis (imidazolium) salts react with Ag2O to give cylindrical polynuclear silver (I)
complexes such as the tetrasilver derivative [Ag4 (1) 2](PF6) 4. The silver (I) complexes …

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are attracting worldwide interest because of their
considerable scope and potential in coordination/organometallic chemistry, catalysis and …

A new sensor for the fluorescent and colorimetric detection of CO2 is described. The system
utilizes fluoride to activate a tetrapropyl benzobisimidazolium salt and operates in the …
