What is Reactivity of Carbene•phosphine Dimers: Proton Affinity Revisited about?

The gas phase reactivity of __N__‐heterocyclic carbenes versus tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy~3~) is examined computationally and experimentally. New measurements indicate that dimethylimidazol‐ and 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazol‐2‐ylidene are more basic than PCy~3~, in contrast to previous measurements made by us and by others. Proton‐bound dimers of the carbenes and PCy~3~ are also found to exhibit interesting reactivity involving phosphine alkylation, cyclohexene elimination, and/or ethylene elimination. This novel reactivity is further probed and discussed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
