The formal combination of a carbene and an organometallic fragment yields carbene
complexes. They are commonly classified as Fischer-and Schrock-type complexes. While …

In 1972, MT Reetz defined dyotropic (from the greek dyo, meaning two) rearrangements as a
new class of pericyclic valence isomerizations in which two σ-bonds simultaneously migrate …

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 joint computational (TD-DFT) experimental study of the UV− vis spectroscopy of
alkoxychromium (0) carbene complexes accurately assigns the vertical transitions …

A highly regioselective C–C bond cleavage method of enones has been devised from the
ruthenium-catalyzed deaminative coupling reaction with simple amines. The analogous …

Transmetalation reactions from chromium (0) Fischer carbene complexes to late‐transition‐
metal complexes (palladium (0), copper (I), and rhodium (I)) have been studied …

The mechanism of the thermal formation of ketenimine complexes through the reaction of
group 6 (chromium and tungsten) and 8 (iron) Fischer carbenes and isocyanides has been …

The first palladium-catalyzed reductive cross-couplings of aryl chromium (0) carbene
complexes with aryl iodides have been realized. This coupling reaction shows excellent …

The electrochemical behaviour of a series of sixteen novel Fischer ethoxy-and
aminocarbene complexes of the type [(CO) 4 (PPh 3) W= C (X) R] with R= 2-thienyl or 2-furyl …

A thorough understanding of the mechanistic steps that occur in organometallic processes is
crucial to the development of new, increasingly sophisticated transformations. This …
