Key Points

This study aims to synthesize and characterize cationic bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) thallium complexes.
Synthesis of two cationic bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) thallium complexes: [Tl(IPr)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4] and [Tl(IMes)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4].
Characterization performed using solid-state structural analysis.
Both complexes exhibit distinctive solid-state structures.
The synthesized thallium species show promising reactivity patterns for further applications.

Implication

Investigates cationic thallium complexes' structure and reactivity, suggesting new applications in catalysis.

Abstract

The cationic bis N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) thallium species [Tl(IPr)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4] (1) and [Tl(IMes)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4] (2) (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; IMes = 1,3bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) have been prepared. The solid-state structures of these species display considerable...
