Brought to life more than half a century ago and successfully applied for high-value
petrochemical intermediates production, nickel-catalyzed olefin oligomerization is still a very …

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 …

Deactivation leads to loss of catalyst activity or selectivity with increasing reaction time, but
has attracted less academic attention in homogeneous catalysis than is justified by its …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …

Catalytic reactions in ionic liquids (ILs) have been examined for at least 20 years; for
example, the first report of the use of an IL as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts acylation was …

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for transition metals has increased
dramatically in the last few years, spurred on by their remarkable successes in the areas of …

Complexes of metals with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (M/NHC) are typically considered
the systems of choice in homogeneous catalysis due to their stable metal–ligand framework …

The last decade has seen a tremendous expansion of the field of heterogenized molecular
catalysis, especially with the growing interest in metal–organic frameworks and related …

Abstract Die Chemie der heterocyclischen Carbene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stürmisch
entwickelt. Nach den Imidazolin‐2‐ylidenen wurden weitere cyclische Diaminocarbene mit …
