Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Properties of Cationic N-Heterocyclic Carbene Copper(I) Complex

A cationic N-heterocyclic carbene copper(I) complex was prepared and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and ESI/TOF mass spectrometry methods. Catalytic performances of the complex were studied in the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of some azides and alkynes

Keywords:

N-heterocyclic carbene, copper(I) benzimidazol-2-ylidene, azide-alkyne cycloaddition,
