The latest advances in N-heterocyclic carbene-based organometallic chemistry have drawn
increasing attention to this class of ancillary ligands as an attractive alternative to tertiary …

This review describes the stabilization of various coordinatively unsaturated metal centers
through the incorporation of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Such species are more …

N-heterocyclic carbene ligands IMes (1), SIMes (2), IPr (3), SIPr (4), and ICy (5) react with Ni
(CO) 4 to give the saturated tricarbonyl complexes Ni (CO) 3 (IMes)(8), Ni (CO) 3 (SIMes)(9) …

Quantum‐chemical calculations with DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods [MP2, SCS‐MP2,
CCSD (T)] have been carried out for the molecules C (PH3) 2 (1), C (PMe3) 2 (2), C (PPh3) …

Quantum‐chemical calculations with DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, SCS‐MP2)
were carried out for protonated and diprotonated compounds N‐H+ and N‐(H+) 2 and for …

Quantum chemical studies show that there is a class of carbon compounds with the general
formular CL2 where the carbon atom retains its four valence electrons as two lone pairs. The …

Quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/TZVPP//BP86/SVP level are reported for the first
and second proton affinities (PAs) of divalent carbon‐donor molecules. The molecules …

Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure of
metalated ylides particularly in comparison to their neutral analogues, the bisylides. A series …

This review summarizes experimental and theoretical studies of transition metal complexes
with two types of novel metal-carbon bonds. One type features complexes with carbones …
