Direct metalation of C2-protected diimidozolium salts with RhCl₃ or [RhCl(cod)]₂ and KI afforded a series of new rhodium(III) complexes with abnormally C4-bound, cis-chelating NHC ligands. The complexes were isolated as dimetallic species containing two (μ²-I)₃-bridged rhodium(III) centers. In the presence of coordinating ligands such as CH₃CN, PPh₃, or dppe, the dimeric structure is readily cleaved and yields monometallic complexes. Crystallographic analysis of representative structures indicates a higher trans influence of abnormally C4-bound carbenes as compared to normal NHCs. The exceptionally strong donor ability of carbenes in such a C4 coordination mode increases the catalytic activity of the rhodium center and allows for efficient transfer hydrogenation of ketones in iPrOH/KOH.
