TLDR
In this article, an improved synthesis of the title compounds was reported, and the N,N'-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gave the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the IMidazol-2ylidenes 3 in excellent yields

The synthesis and structure of a carbene-stabilized iminocarboranyl-boron(I) compound

TL;DR: A carbene-stabilized iminocarboranylboron(I) compound has been synthesized and structurally characterized and demonstrates that imines play a similar role to that of carbenes in the stabilization of low valent boron compounds.

Facile Formation of Homoleptic Au(III) Trications via Simultaneous Oxidation and Ligand Delivery from [PhI(pyridine)2]2+

TL;DR: The first examples of Au( III) tricationic complexes bound only by neutral monodentate ligands, which are a new class of gold reagents, show intriguing reactivity with water, yielding dinuclear oxo-bridged and rare terminal Au(III)-OH complexes.
