    The synthesis of a series of cobalt NHC complexes of the types [Co­(NHC)<sub>2</sub>(CO)­(NO)] (NHC = <i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>2</b>), <i>n</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>3</b>), Cy<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>4</b>), Me<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>5</b>), <i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>ImMe (<b>6</b>), Me<sub>2</sub>ImMe (<b>7</b>), Me<i>i</i>PrIm (<b>8</b>), Me<i>t</i>BuIm (<b>9</b>); R<sub>2</sub>Im = 1,3-dialkylimidazolin-2-ylidene) and [Co­(NHC)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] (NHC = <i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>13</b>), <i>n</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>14</b>), Me<sub>2</sub>Im (<b>15</b>), <i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>ImMe (<b>16</b>), Me<sub>2</sub>ImMe (<b>17</b>), Me<i>i</i>PrIm (<b>18</b>), Me<i>t</i>BuIm (<b>19</b>)) from the reaction of the NHC with [Co­(CO)<sub>3</sub>(NO)] (<b>1</b>) is reported. These complexes have been characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and in many cases by X-ray crystallography. Bulky NHCs tend to form the mono-NHC-substituted complexes [Co­(NHC)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)], even from the reaction with an stoichiometric excess of the NHC, as demonstrated by the synthesis of [Co­(Dipp<sub>2</sub>Im)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] (<b>11</b>), [Co­(Mes<sub>2</sub>Im)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] (<b>12</b>), and [Co­(<sup>Me</sup>cAAC)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] (<b>20</b>). For <i>t</i>Bu<sub>2</sub>Im a preferred coordination via the NHC backbone (“abnormal” coordination at the 4-position) was observed and the complex [Co­(<i>t</i>Bu<sub>2</sub><sup>a</sup>Im)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] (<b>10</b>) was isolated. All of these complexes are volatile, are stable upon sublimation and prolonged storage in the gas phase, and readily decompose at higher temperatures. Furthermore, DTA/TG analyses revealed that the complexes [Co­(NHC)<sub>2</sub>(CO)­(NO)] are seemingly more stable toward thermal decomposition in comparison to the complexes [Co­(NHC)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)]. We thus conclude that the cobalt complexes of the type [Co­(NHC)­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(NO)] and [Co­(NHC)<sub>2</sub>(CO)­(NO)] have potential for application as precursors in the vapor deposition of thin cobalt films

    The [Ni­(IMes)<sub>2</sub>]-catalyzed transformation of fluoroarenes into arylboronic acid pinacol esters via C–F bond activation and transmetalation with bis­(pinacolato)­diboron (B<sub>2</sub>pin<sub>2</sub>) is reported. Various partially fluorinated arenes with different degrees of fluorination were converted into their corresponding boronate esters
