The ease of transmetalation follows the trend: Au > Cu > Ag and thegold carbenes can be isolated, a copper carbene could be detected but we found no experi-mental evidence of the formation of any silver carbene. The electrophilic character of copper and gold carbenes is supported by the identity of the products formed upon hydrolysis of the carbenes involved. Silver shows a distinct behavior and the presence of Ag+ ions in an ace- tonitrile solution of a tungsten aminocarbene leads to the formal protonation of the carbene fragment to give an iminium salt. This outcome, a seemingly nucleophillic behavior, is unexpected for group 11 carbenes but DFT calculations show that tive cationic silver carbene is energetically accessible.
