Radical Metalloids with N-Heterocyclic Carbene and Phenanthroline Ligands: Synthesis, Properties, and Cross-Coupling Reaction of [(Nitronyl Nitroxide)-2-ido]metal Complexes with Aryl Halides

Abstract New radical metalloids, NN-AuSIMes and NN-Cu(bdmpphen), were prepared and their properties were investigated. They were applied to Pd(0)-mediated cross-coupling reactions with aryl halides (ArX) to produce 2-aryl (nitronyl nitroxide)s in moderate to high yields.
