Abstract

A sterically shielded cationic NHC gold complex IPr**Au–BArF₂₄ without solvent coordination has been prepared in situ in CH₂Cl₂. The monovalent transition metal electrophile, a “soft proton”, heterolytically activates the C–B bond of the weakly coordinating counterion tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate at room temperature.
