Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis is one of many available options for 'translating'
computational solutions of Schrödinger's wave equation into the familiar language of …

Cyclic (alkyl)-and (aryl)-(amino) carbenes (CAACs and CAArCs) are stronger σ-donors and
π-acceptors than imidazol-2-ylidenes and imidazolidin-2-ylidenes, the well-known N …

The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

Conspectus Carbenes are compounds that feature a divalent carbon atom with only six
electrons in its valence shell. In the singlet state, they possess a lone pair of electrons and a …

Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

Carbenes are perhaps the most versatile reactive intermediates in chemistry. Since the
original visions of “methylene” by Dumas 1 in 1835 and a generalization of this vision by Nef …

Conspectus N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are known to stabilize some metal atoms in
different oxidation states mostly by their strong σ-donation. After the successful syntheses of …

Atomically precise copper nanoclusters (NCs) are of immense interest for a variety of
applications, but have remained elusive. Herein, we report the isolation of a copper …

Because of the typical instability of copper nanoclusters, atom-precise structural elucidation
of these nanoclusters has remained elusive. Herein, we report an air-and moisture-stable 23 …

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 …
