N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an important class of compounds that are indeed
regarded as most versatile carbon-donor ligands in transition metal and organometallic …

Here we describe the fusion of two families of unusual carbon‐containing molecules that
readily disregard the tendency of carbon to form four chemical bonds, namely N …

First‐row two‐coordinate complexes are attracting much interest. Herein, we report the high‐
yield isolation of the linear two‐coordinate iron (I) complex salt [K (L)][Fe {N (SiMe3) 2} 2](L …

Abstract A cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) was found to undergo unprecedented
rearrangements and transformations of its core structure in the presence of Group 1 and 2 …

Multiple iron atoms bridged by hydrides is a common structural feature of the active species
that have been postulated in the biological and industrial reduction of N2. In this study, the …

1, 3-Imidazole-based mesoionic carbenes (iMICs) are a very promising class of carbon-
donor ligands in synthesis and catalysis. However, a systematic study of the quantification of …

The chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes, particularly imidazol-2-ylidenes, has been
exhaustively documented in the literature. Amongst the many bond activation reactions …

A new series of iron (II) piano stool complexes was synthesized that contain monodentate
triazolylidene ligands with different aryl and alkyl substituents as well as an example of a C …

The mechanism of iron-catalyzed carbon–carbon cross-coupling reactions between
Grignard reagents and alkyl halides has been investigated using well-defined N …

The present contribution reports experimental and theoretical mechanistic investigations on
a normal‐to‐abnormal (C2‐to‐C4‐bonded) NHC rearrangement processes occurring with …
