Resumen:
Theoretical DFT calculations support the transient formation of carbene 2, a singular case of N-metalated NHC, derived from deprotonation of 1-phenylimidazole (L) in the cationic metal complex fac-[Mn(L)(CO)3(bipy)]+. The mechanism transforming 2 into the more stable imidazolyl tautomer 3 proceeds through the formation of the acyl intermediate 5, resulting from carbene−carbonyl coupling.
