Abstract

Novel pincer-type N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been synthesised and characterised by FAB-MS and single crystal X-ray analysis. The ligands have proved to be highly active towards palladium-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of bromoanthracene and related substrates allowing the efficient and easy access of molecules for possible OLED applications.
