Two new pincer ligands have been developed that contain a central N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) moiety linked to two pendant pyrazole groups by either a methylene (NCNme) or ethylene (NCNet) chain. The coordination of these two ligands to rhodium and iridium resulted in a variety of binding modes. Tr...
