Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

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 …

Analysis of electron wavefunction is a key component of quantum chemistry investigations
and is indispensable for the practical research of many chemical problems. After more than …

Chloride transport by microbial rhodopsins is an essential process for which molecular
details such as the mechanisms that convert light energy to drive ion pumping and ensure …

In the past few years, many exciting papers reported results based on crystal structure
determination by electron diffraction. The aim of this review is to provide general and …

Isolation and characterization of stable radicals has been a long-pursued quest. While there
has been some progress in this field particularly with respect to carbon, radicals involving …

The successful management and safe disposal of high-level nuclear waste necessitate the
efficient separation of actinides (An) from lanthanides (Ln), which has emerged as a crucial …

Crystallography and quantum mechanics have always been tightly connected because
reliable quantum mechanical models are needed to determine crystal structures. Due to this …

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

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used ligands and reagents in modern inorganic
synthesis as well as in homogeneous catalysis and organocatalysis. However, NHCs are …
