this paper we report the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC)-Ag(I) complexes as catalysts for the borono-Minisci reaction, a powerful and practical approach for the decoration of N-heterocycles. While it represents an unprecedented method, kinetic and cyclic voltammetric analyses evidenced how the complex structure influence the Ag(I)/Ag(II) redox potential
