An Anion-Dependent Switch in Selectivity Results from a Change of C--H Activation Mechanism in the Reaction of an lmidazolium Salt with lrH(PPh).

Changing the counteranion along the series Br, BF, PF, SbF in their ion-paired 2-pyridylmethyl imidazolium salts causes the kinetic reaction products with lrH(PPh) to switch from chelating N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) having normal C2 (N path) to abnormal C5 binding (AN path).
