Abstract
Two unprecedented hydrogen bonds were observed in the adducts obtained by the reactions of an N-heterocyclic carbene with a bulky phenol and with diphenylamine. In the former case, proton transfer yields an imidazolium aryloxide (1) containing the shortest C-H···O interaction seen to date and in the latter, the hydrogen atom remains bound to the organic acid but forms a unique N-H···C hydrogen bond (2).
