A bimetallic carbene complex architecture that incorporates a cyclopentadienyl-annulated imidazol-2-ylidene moiety is characterized. The ligand architecture enables direct electronic interaction between the pi- and sigma-bonded metals. A preliminary example of aqueous Suzuki coupling employing a metallocene-fused imidazol-2-ylidene-derived catalyst is described.
