The metal-carbon bond in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes, which are ubiquitous in modern homogeneous catalysis, is often conjectured to be robust. Here, carbene dissociation was evaluated from a series of complexes with metals of relevance in catalysis containing either an Arduengo-type 2-imidazolylidene or a mesoionic 1,2,3-triazolylidene ligand through thione formation, revealing remarkable kinetic lability of the NHC-metal bond for, <i>e.g.</i> Ir<sup>III</sup>, Rh<sup>III</sup>, ...[more]
