N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

Conspectus N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have gone from the topic of a few scattered (but
important) reports in the early 1990s to very recently being a ligand/reagent of choice in the …

Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have been prepared
on Au (111) and their thermal stability, adsorption geometry, and molecular order were …

We report a new class of stable mesoionic N‐heterocyclic olefins, featuring a highly
polarized (strongly ylidic) double bond. The ground‐state structure cannot be described …

N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs), a recently (re-) discovered type of electron-rich, polar alkene,
are comprehensively presented. Along with synthetic aspects and chemical properties …

A Brönsted basicity scale comprising nine representative N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs)
was established by measuring the equilibrium acidities of their corresponding precursors in …

Two efficient methods are presented to install σ‐and π‐electron‐donating N‐heterocyclic
vinyl groups onto main‐group elements (E): halosilane elimination and base‐induced E− C …

New N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) are described with functionalization on the ligand
heterocyclic backbone and terminal alkylidene positions. Various PdII–NHO complexes …

The proton affinity (PA) of a range of structurally different N-heterocycles with an exocyclic
double bond (= N-heterocyclic olefins, NHOs) has been determined using DFT calculations …

A direct synthesis of N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) and their mesoionic congeners (mNHOs)
from N‐heterocyclic carbenes and N‐aziridinylimines is reported. The reaction provided …
