The seminal report by Hegedus in 1982, showing that alkoxychromium (0) carbenes reacted
with imines under bright Colorado sunlight to yield β-lactams, marked the beginning of a key …

The carbonylation of carbenes through catalytic cycles is highly desirable due to the
importance of ketene-mediated reactions in organic synthesis. In this investigation, a highly …

Fischer-type carbene complexes are characterized by the presence of a π-donating group,
such as an alkoxy group on the carbene carbon. Despite the notable progress that has been …

This review article covers the development of Fischer carbene complexes since the year
2000, with specific focus on carbene complexes bearing metal-containing fragments as …

Carbonylation of metal carbene complexes, including the carbonylation of Group VI Fischer
carbenes, is reviewed in this article. In particular, transition metal-catalyzed carbonylation of …

To understand the torquoselectivity and the electronic effects of the Staudinger reaction, a
study using a combination of experiments and DFT calculations has been conducted for the …

Half‐sandwich manganese methylenephosphonium complexes [Cp (CO) 2Mn (η2‐R2P C
(H) Ph)] BF4 were obtained in high yield through a straightforward reaction sequence …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2008 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond.

DFT calculations predict that the [8+ 2] cycloaddition reaction between ketenes and 8-
azaheptafulvenes occurs stepwise through antiaromatic zwitterionic intermediates. With …

The synthesis, structure and electronic properties of novel Group 6 Fischer alkoxy–bis
(carbene) complexes are reported. The UV/Vis spectra of these species display two main …
