In this review we discuss general trends in the use of alkali bromide and iodide (ABI) fluxes
for exploratory crystal growth. The ABI fluxes are ionic solution fluxes at moderate to high …

Metal carbene complexes have been at the forefront of organic and organometallic
synthesis and are instrumental in guiding future sustainable chemistry efforts. While …

Exciting new variations in Fischer-type carbene complex composition and reactivity have
been realised by following or modifying well-established synthetic approaches such as …

Facile synthetic procedures to synthesize a series of difficult-to-obtain
mercaptoalkylferrocenes, namely, Fc (CH2) n SH, where n= 1 (1), 2 (2), 3 (3), or 4 (4) and …

The oxidative cleaving of a rhenium–rhenium bond by bromine in binuclear Fischer carbene
complexes proves to be an effective method to prepare mononuclear bromido-carbene …

The addition of NHCs to α, β‐unsaturated Cr0 and W0 (Fischer) carbene complexes is
strongly dependent on the electrophilicity of the carbene carbon. Electrophilic alkoxy …

Oxidation of the half-sandwich MnI complexes Cp (CO) 2Mn (NHC) bearing dialkyl-, arylalkyl-
and diarylsubstituted N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC= IMe, IMeMes, IMes) affords the …

A series of rhodium (I)–1, 2, 3‐triazol‐5‐ylidene (trz) complexes are described, containing
either a novel triarylated trz ligand A′(N1, N3‐arylated, C4‐ferrocenyl){complexes 1,[Rh …

The facile Csingle bond C coupling reaction of activated forms of azaaromatics (azine-N-
oxides) with cymantrenyl lithium, as a nucleophile, has first been carried out. It has been …

The preparation of a series of rhodium (I) complexes coordinated by various electronically
tuneable Fischer carbene (FC) ligands, is reported. The Rh (I) metal complexes' electronic …
