Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic
reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been …

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 …

Hydride complexes of copper, silver, and gold encompass a broad array of structures, and
their distinctive reactivity has enabled dramatic recent advances in synthesis and catalysis …

The research on 1, 2, 3-triazoles has been lively and ever-growing since its stimulation by
the advent of click chemistry. The attractiveness of 1H-1, 2, 3-triazoles and their derivatives …

Quantification and variation of characteristic properties of different ligand classes is an
exciting and rewarding research field. N‐Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are of special …

Beyond the Tolman electronic parameter: The 31P NMR chemical shifts of easily
synthesized carbene–phenylphosphinidene adducts allow the determination of the relative …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are defined as singlet carbenes, in which the divalent
carbenic center is connected directly to at least one nitrogen atom within the heterocycle. 1 …

The organometallic chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has experienced
explosive development during the last few years, and the topic remains the main focus of …

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) contains a carbene carbon incorporated in a nitrogen-
containing heterocycle, presumably reactive and difficult to isolate. 1 The first isolation of …

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, introduced as analogues to phosphines, are recently
getting wide attention in the design of diverse homogeneous catalytic systems. 1-6 During …
