Abstract Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most
nucleophilic (σ donating) and also electrophilic (π‐accepting) stable carbenes known to …

Radicals are an important class of species which act as intermediates in numerous chemical
and biological processes. Most of the radicals have short lifetimes. However, radicals with …

Ein Kennzeichen der seit 2005 bekannten cyclischen Alkylaminocarbene (CAACs) ist ihre
ausgeprägte Nucleophilie (σ‐Donor) und zugleich Elektrophile (π‐Akzeptor). Diese …

The complexation of two equivalents of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) to
tetrabromodiborane, followed by reduction with four equivalents of sodium naphthalide, led …

Abstract Cyclic (amino)(aryl) carbenes (CAArCs) result from the replacement of the alkyl
substituent of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) by an aryl group. This structural …

Self‐assembled monolayers of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on copper are reported.
The monolayer structure is highly dependent on the N, N‐substituents on the NHC. On both …

Excimers and exciplexes are defined as assemblies of atoms or molecules A/A′ where
interatomic/intermolecular bonding appears only in excited states such as [A2]*(for …

A cyclic alkyl (amino) carbene readily reacts with SbCl3 to form the corresponding SbIII
adduct. One‐electron reduction gives rise to the first example of a neutral antimony …

The first synthesis of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (cAACs) was reported in 2005, and since
then this class of carbenes has been on a victory tour in main‐group‐element and transition …

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 …
