| description | We report the synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of the stable imidazol-2-ylidene <sup>Et</sup>IDip (<sup>Et</sup>IPr), {EtCN(Dip)}<sub>2</sub>C:, Dip = 2,6-<i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>, as a chemically robust alternative to IDip (IPr), {HCN(Dip)}<sub>2</sub>C:. The N-heterocyclic carbene <sup>Et</sup>IDip could be further converted to the oxidised species [<sup>Et</sup>IDipCl]Cl, <sup>Et</sup>IDipF<sub>2</sub>, <sup>Et</sup>IDipO, and <sup>Et</sup>IDipSe, and the group 13 element complexes <sup>Et</sup>IDipEX<sub>3</sub>, with E = B, X = Br; E = Al, X = I; E = Ga, X = I; E = Al, X = H. The properties of the <sup>Et</sup>IDip and IDip ligands are compared and the molecular structures of (DipNCEt)<sub>2</sub>, [<sup>Et</sup>IDipH]Cl, [<sup>Et</sup>IDipH]I, <sup>Et</sup>IDip, [<sup>Et</sup>IDipCl]Cl, <sup>Et</sup>IDipF<sub>2</sub>, <sup>Et</sup>IDipO, <sup>Et</sup>IDipBBr<sub>3</sub>, <sup>Et</sup>IDipAlI<sub>3</sub>, <sup>Et</sup>IDipGaI<sub>3</sub>, and <sup>Et</sup>IDipAlH<sub>3</sub> have been determined. |
