1,3-Bis(2,6-di(pentan-3-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(CAT: L022182) is a bulky, symmetric ionic compound featuring an imidazolium core substituted with two 2,6-di(pentan-3-yl)phenyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions. This type of compound is often used as a ligand in coordination chemistry, particularly in the formation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes, which are valuable in catalysis. The chloride counterion balances the charge of the imidazolium cation, contributing to the compound’s ionic nature. These NHC ligands are known for their stability and ability to facilitate various catalytic reactions, including cross-coupling and hydrogenation, in both industrial and research settings.
