The tetrakisimidazolium salt H<sub>4</sub> -2(Br)<sub>4</sub> , featuring a central benzene linker and 1,2,4,5-(nBu-imidazolium-Ph-CH=CH-) substituents reacts with Ag<sub>2</sub> O in the presence of AgBF<sub>4</sub> to yield the tetranuclear, oktakis-NHC assembly [3](BF<sub>4</sub> )<sub>4</sub> . Cation [3]<sup>4+</sup> features four pairs of olefins from the two tetrakis-NHC ligands perfectly arranged for a subsequent [2+2] cycloaddition. Irradiation of [3](BF<sub>4</sub> )<sub>4</sub> with a ...[more]
