This Review examines recent developments in late transition metal-catalyzed
hydroamination and-amidation reactions. A hydroamination is a reaction in which an N− H …

The field of organometallic catalysis has attracted considerable interest from both academia
and industry due to its broad applications in synthetic transformations. Pd, Ni, Rh, and Ir …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

The continuous growth of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry is a fact that is pointed
out in all the introductions of the publications regarding NHCs that have appeared in the …

The strong σ-donor but poor π-acceptor abilities of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) result in
chemical stability and coordination versatility, thus allowing them to coordinate with many …

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 …

Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global
warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a …

The β-diketiminate-stabilized calcium amide complex [{ArNC (Me) CHC (Me) NAr} Ca {N
(SiMe3) 2}(THF)](Ar= 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) and magnesium methyl complex [{ArNC (Me) …

This review summarises the most recent advances in Ir–NHC catalysis while revisiting all the
classical reactions in which this type of catalyst has proved to be active. The influence of the …

This Perspective article outlines some of the recent advancements completed in the
development of (chiral) metal-free and late-transition metal catalysts for the inter-and …
