Synthesis of Pincer-Type N-Heterocylic Carbene Predecessors Based on Anthracene Moity and Its Silver Carbene

Pincer-type N-heterocylic Carbene (NHC) predecessor have been widely applied in anion recogni- tion and preparation of meal NHCs. Herein, four pincer-type NHC predecessors and one of its silver complex containing anthracene ring were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectra.
