Li, Dazhi published the artcileMechanism studies of oxidation and hydrolysis of Cu(I)-NHC and Ag-NHC in solution under air, Product Details of C27H39ClN2, the publication is Journal of Organometallic Chemistry (2020), 121025, database is CAplus.
The decomposition of copper(I)-NHC and silver-NHC complexes in solution under air was studied. The Cu(I)-NHCs were oxidized into urea derivatives and hydrolyzed into imidazoliums or benzimidazoliums. The decomposition of Ag-NHC with a saturated backbone led to ring-opening product, while the Ag-NHC with an unsaturated backbone led to imidazolium and Ag-bisNHC complex. The effects of steric property, hydrophilicity, and binding energy of NHC to O2 and H2O on the decomposition of Cu(I)-NHC were studied using theor. calculations Steric hindrance played an important role on the stability of Cu(I)-NHC. Pathways for the decomposition of Cu(I)-NHC and Ag-NHC were proposed.
