Reference of Chloro{1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene}gold(I)On March 27, 2013, Visbal, Renso; Ospino, Isaura; Lopez-de-Luzuriaga, Jose M.; Laguna, Antonio; Gimeno, M. Concepcion published an article in Journal of the American Chemical Society. The article was 《N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands as Modulators of Luminescence in Three-Coordinate Gold(I) Complexes with Spectacular Quantum Yields》. The article mentions the following:
The first three-coordinate gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have been prepared with the nido-carborane diphosphine. The complexes are brightly luminescent and present very high quantum yield values. The carbene ligand is able to modulate the energy of the emissions and, depending upon the substituent, the luminescence changes from blue to green. Theor. calculations corroborate that the emissions are phosphorescence and arise from charge transfer (LML’CT) transitions from nido-carborane ligand (L) to metal/ligand group “”gold(I)-NHC ligand”” (ML’).Chloro{1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene}gold(I)(cas: 852445-84-2Reference of Chloro{1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene}gold(I)) was used in this study.
Chloro{1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene}gold(I)(cas: 852445-84-2) belongs to imidazoles.Imidazole rings are also present in imidazole ring alkaloids, which are potential therapeutics for thrombosis, cancer and inflammatory diseases.Reference of Chloro{1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene}gold(I) Although other azole heterocycles are ubiquitous in a wide range of biologically active natural products, imidazole rings occur predominantly in the natural amino acid histidine.
