Alkoxide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) stabilise the potassium-imidazole-2-ylidene fragment against 1,2 alkyl rearrangement reactions; this allows the first structural characterisation of a potassium NHC complex, which reveals distorted and unusual bonding interactions between the imidazole ring and the potassium cation.
醇盐官能化的N-杂环卡宾(NHCs)可稳定钾-咪唑-2-亚基片段,防止其发生1,2-烷基重排反应;这使得首个钾-NHC配合物的结构得以表征,该表征揭示了咪唑环与钾阳离子之间扭曲且异常的键合相互作用。
