The last decade has seen an increasing number of reports on the use of NHC–metal
complexes for catalysis in water, therefore this review is aimed to introduce the whole …

We provide an overview on the state‐of‐the‐art in transition‐metal complexes formed with
water‐soluble NHC ligands. Paths to introducing water solubility by ligand design are …

Water is one of the most abundant molecules on earth. It is inexpensive, especially when
compared to organic solvents, nonflammable, and nontoxic, it has a large heat capacity, and …

Rhodium and iridium complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes (3a− c and 4a− c) were
obtained by transmetalation from the corresponding Ag (I) complexes. The structure of 3b …

Water is truly ubiquitous. Approximately 80% of the earth's surface is covered by water,
although only 1% of this is drinkable water. Water is the solvent of life and makes up about …

The rapid growth of the biodiesel industry has led to a large surplus of its major byproduct, ie
glycerol, for which new applications need to be found. Research efforts in this area have …

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

Water has attracted significant attention as an alternative solvent for homogeneous metal-
catalyzed reactions because it is a non-toxic, nonflammable solvent that can allow for …

A series of novel water-soluble AuI complexes using sulfonated N-heterocyclic
imidazolylidene carbenes as ligands was prepared by transmetalation from the …

Facile synthesis of [(NHC)MX(cod)] and [(NHC)MCl(CO) 2 ] (M = Rh, Ir; X = Cl, I) complexes -
