BoxCarb ligands

The tridentate BoxCarb ligand was used to synthesise the corresponding carbene complexes of silver(I), rhodium(III) and palladium(II) [101]. Interestingly, the potentially tridentate BoxCarb ligand coordinates in a bidentate fashion only in the case of the silver(l) complex and it is the linker-free oxazoline ring that remains pendant. The coordination...
