	The combination of 6-SIDipp center dot AlH3 (1) and 5-IDipp resulted in the ring expansion of 6-NHC, while the five-membered NHC remained unchanged, which was subsequently explained by DFT studies. Besides, the substitution chemistry of 1 was also studied with TMSOTf and I-2, which gave rise to the substitution of a hydride by triflate or iodide ligands.</p>
