New iridium and rhodium complexes prepared from C2-symmetric trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-bis(1-R)-benzimidazolidine-2-ylidene ligands (R = Me, iPr, and diPh) have been synthesized and characterized. Their catalytic activities have been tested in enantioselective hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions. The ee’s for the reactions are low. Evidence indicates that even chelating di-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands are susceptible to reductive elimination.

A new C-2-symmetric chelating di-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand is reported. The stable free di-carbene (+/-)[DEAM-BY] (3) forms upon treating the imidazolium salt(+/-)[DEAM-BI][OTf](2) (2) with potassium bis-trimethylsilylamide (where DEAM-BY=trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-bis(1-benzyl)imidaz-2-ylidene and DEAM-BI = trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-bis(1-benzyl)imidazolium). Metalation reactions of 2 with [Rh(COD)Cl](2) and [Ir(COD)Cl](2) are carried out under mild conditions to produce either mono- or bimetallic complexes. Each compound is characterized by NMR spectroscopy, combustion analysis, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
