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 …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are omnipresent ligands in coordination and
organometallic chemistry, which is reflected by myriads of applications involving NHC …

Complexes bearing protic N-heterocyclic carbenes (protic NHCs, pNHCs), defined as cyclic
carbenes stabilized by two heteroatoms including at least one NH group, have been less …

This tutorial review summarizes all works and highlights recent advances published in the
growing field of group 7 N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. It provides a valuable …

The review describes methods for the preparation of complexes bearing protic NHC ligands,
