Abstract
The first anionic N-heterocyclic dicarbene, polymeric [:C{[N(2,6-Pr(i)(2)C(6)H(3))](2)CHCLi(THF)}](n) 1, containing both normal (C2) and abnormal carbene (C4) centers in the same five-membered imidazole ring (III), has been prepared by lithiation of the imidazole monocarbene, :C{N(2,6-Pr(i)(2)C(6)H(3))CH}(2). The dicarbene nature of 1 was unambiguously demonstrated by the formation of the group 13 Lewis acid adducts (THF)(2)Li:C{[N(2,6-Pr(i)(2)C(6)H(3))](2)CHC(LA)}, where LA = AlMe(3) [2·(THF)(2)] and BEt(3) [3·(THF)(2)].Entities:
