The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 NMR and IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, and, in the case of RhCl(NBD)(IMes) and RhCl(COD)(MAI), X-ray crystallography. The new Ag(I) carbene complexes [Ag(IPr)(2)]PF6 and [Ag(IMeS)(2)]PF6 are also reported.}, keywords = {APPLICATION, CATALYTIC, COUPLING, EFFICIENT CATALYSTS, IRIDIUM, LIGAND, METAL-COMPLEXES, N-heterocyclic carbene, NUCLEOPHILIC CARBENE, OLEFIN METATHESIS, REACTIONS, SILVER(I)}, isbn = {0276-7333}, url = {://000236973500033}, author = {Yu, X.
