The synthesis of a new CNC pincer-type ligand based on an N-heterocyclic carbene substituted carbazole is presented. The resulting 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,8-bis(3-methylimidazolin-2-yliden-1-yl)carbazolide (bimca) is a monoanionic, meridionally coordinating tridentate ligand that was generated in situ by deprotonation of the imidazolium salt (bimca)·2HI (3a) or (bimca)·2HBF4 (3b) and characterized by NMR spectroscopy as the Li complex 4. The successful transmetalation to rhodium upon reaction with [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 yielded Rh(bimca)(CO) (5). This complex shows a very small wavenumber in the IR spectrum for the ν(CO) band, thus indicating strong σ-donor and weak π-acceptor properties of the bimca ligand. The highly nucleophilic character of the Rh(I) center was proven by the formal oxidative addition of methyl iodide to Rh(bimca)(CO) (5), a reaction that proceeded more quickly than with any other Rh(I) complex reported so far. The complex Rh(bimca)(CH3)I(CO) (6) as well as Rh(bimca)(CO) (5) were characterized by X-...
