Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

Abstract Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most
nucleophilic (σ donating) and also electrophilic (π‐accepting) stable carbenes known to …

This tutorial explores the diversity and characteristics of C-donor ligands. Particular
emphasis is put on the conceptual design of the electronic properties for applications in …

Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in
the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic …

Ein Kennzeichen der seit 2005 bekannten cyclischen Alkylaminocarbene (CAACs) ist ihre
ausgeprägte Nucleophilie (σ‐Donor) und zugleich Elektrophile (π‐Akzeptor). Diese …

The members of a series of linear and trigonal copper (I) complexes bearing a cyclic alkyl
(amino) carbene (CAAC) ligand show surprising photophysical properties compared to …

Room temperature hydrogenation of an SIDep‐stabilized diboryne (SIDep= 1, 3‐bis
(diethylphenyl)‐4, 5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐ylidene) and a cAAC‐supported diboracumulene …

The high element abundance and d10 electron configuration make ZnII‐based compounds
attractive candidates for the development of novel photoactive molecules. Although a large …

Molecular near-IR (NIR) triplet-state emitters are of importance for the development of new,
organic-electronics-based telecommunication technologies as optical fibers operating in the …

Cyclopentadienyls are well-known strong donor ligands and have been successfully
employed in catalysis as they tolerate a variety of substituents to adjust their steric and …
