New triazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of iridium and rhodium have been synthesized for catalytic studies. The 11 new complexes have been characterized using multinuclear NMR and X-ray diffraction. The catalytic properties of the complexes in transfer hydrogenation reactions of C=O and C=N bonds have been studied. The electronic properties of the different wing tips on the NHC and their catalytic effects have been studied.
