A series of ionically-tagged M-NHC complexes were synthesized from zwitterionic and ionic imidazolium salts. The catalytic activity of the M-NHC complexes were tested toward cross-coupling reactions in aqueous, polar, and mixed solvent systems. Catalytic data is used to determine the effect of the magnitude and nature of the ionic tag on catalytic capability.
