title = "Unexpected rearrangements in the synthesis of an unsymmetrical tridentate dianionic N-heterocyclic carbene",
abstract = "Starting from the same ethylenediamine species, three valuable carbene precursors were synthesized under differing conditions: a tridentate dianionic N-heterocyclic carbene bearing an aniline, a phenol and a central dihydroimidazolium salt, its benzimidazolium isomer by intramolecular rearrangement and a dicationic benzimidazolium-benzoxazolium salt by changing the Br{\o}nsted acid from HCl to HBF4. A DFT study was performed to understand the rearrangement pathway. The structure of a bis[(NCO)carbene] zirconium complex was determined. {\textcopyright} 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.",
