Ofele and Wanzlick reported the synthesis of the first N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-metal
complexes in 1968. 1, 2 The isolation of the first free carbene by Arduengo in 1991 set the …

Abstract Six new 1, 3‐diorganylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene (NHC) gold (I) complexes of the type
[Au (NHC) 2]+(1–6), were synthesized by reacting [AuCl (PPh) 3] with 1, 3 …

A novel series of thiazolo [3, 2-a] benzimidazole derivatives containing benzofuran nucleus
(5a–l) have been synthesized. The key intermediate, substituted benzimidazol-sulfanyl …

The AgCl, AgOAc, AuCl, and AuOAc complexes of the new bis (imino) acenaphthene (BIAN)-
supported N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and the precursor imidazolium salt have been …

Two different series of N-substituted imidazolium oximes and their monoquaternary salts
were synthesized and biologically tested with respect to their ability to inhibit growth a …

The new Ag (I) complexes (2–4) with proligand 1 were prepared and characterized as
prospective antibacterial drug candidates. These compounds consist of a Ag (I) center …

Catechol‐containing imidazolium (four) and benzimidazolium chlorides (eight) were
synthesized to evaluate their antimicrobial properties. All the compounds were fully …

The syntheses of four new bis (imino) acenaphthene (BIAN) imidazolium chlorides are
reported, three of which have been structurally characterized. The synthesis of a new …

Variously substituted benzyl bromides were employed to quaternize
hexahydrobenzylimidazo [1, 5-a] pyridine (A) and the resulting bromides (1–11) were …

We report herein the biological activities of several imidazolium aurate (I) salts. The
cytotoxicity on three cell‐lines (ie Hela, H460 and 3T3), enzyme inhibition on a panel of five …
