In recent years, the coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has drawn much attention [1,2]. In general, NHCs that form stable bonds with different metals and particularly with transition metals are considered to be an alternative for tertiary phosphines. Transition metal–NHC complexes show interesting electronic properties such as high σ-basicity and low π-acidity. Furthermore, by tuning the steric and electronic properties of the NHC, the activity and selectivity of metal–NHC complexes can be easily varied [3-5].
