Gold(i) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with anionic acylselenourea ligands bound to gold only through selenium were prepared in a one-pot procedure.
One-pot synthesis of C-bound triazolate complexes of mercury(ii) from N-substituted triazoles with Hg(OAc)2 have been achieved. Further methylation of one of these complexes yielded a monomeric N-heterocyclic carbene complex.
