Non-Innocent behavior of a tridentate NHC chelating ligand coordinated onto a Zirconium(IV) center
Résumé
"Chemical Equation Presented" NHC me, now you don't: A tridentate bis(aryloxide)NHC-chelating ligand readily coordinates to ZrIV and undergoes an unprecedented THF-promoted benzyl migration from the zirconium metal center to the Ccarbene atom of the NHC. NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
