ResumoAbstract Two‐coordinate Cu(I) and Au(I) complexes supported by bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, [BICAAC‐CuCl] ( 1 ), [BICAAC‐CuI] ( 2 ), [(BICAAC) 2 Cu] + [PF 6 ] – ( 3 ) and [(BICAAC) 2 Au] + [AuCl 2 ] – ( 6 ) have been synthesized. The reaction of cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, CAAC cy with CuCl afforded [CAAC cy ‐CuCl] ( 4 ) and its further reaction with KPF 6 gave [(CAAC cy ) 2 Cu] + [PF 6 ] – ( 5 ). Complexes 1–6 have been characterized by multinuclear NMR, IR and UV‐Vis., spectroscopic method and high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Single crystal X‐ray structure of heteroleptic complexes 1 and 4 and homoleptic complexes [(BICAAC) 2 Cu] + [CuI 2 ] – ( 2’ ), 3 and 6 have also been determined. The crystal structure of these complexes confirmed linear two‐coordinate geometry around the metal centers. In the solid‐ state, complexes 1 , 2 ’, 4 and 6 displayed C−H⋯M (M=Cu, Au) and weak non‐covalent C−H⋯X (X=Cl, I) and C−H⋯H−C interactions. Computational calculations correlate well to the experimentally observed geometry and help elucidate the absorption characteristics type of transitions and the frontier orbitals involved in them.
