Owing　to　the　excellent　chemical　stability　and　catalytic　activity,　N-heterocyclic　carbene　(NBC)　complexes　have　always　been　the　hotspot　in　the　field　of　organic　chemistry.　Imidazolium　salts　are　the　precursors　of　NHCs,　and　their　easy　preparation　and　structure　diversity　properties　make　them　useful　for　the　generation　of　NHC　complexes　with　topology　structures.　In　this　paper,　the　recent　progress　of　synthesis,　structure　and　physicochemical　properties　of　NHC　complexes　with　cylindrical,　cage-like,　macrocyclic,　square　and　rectangular　molecular　structures　which　are　synthesized　by　poly-imidazolium　salts　is　summarized　and　reviewed.
