Mesoionic carbenes are a subclass of the family of N-heterocyclic carbenes that generally
feature less heteroatom stabilization of the carbenic carbon and hence impart specific donor …

The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

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 …

Mesoionic carbenes (MICs) of the 1, 2, 3-triazolylidene type have established themselves as
a popular class of compounds over the past decade. Primary reasons for this popularity are …

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 …

Conspectus Classical carbenes are usually described as neutral compounds featuring a
divalent carbon with only six electrons in their valence shell. It was only in 1988 that our …

Ligands with flexible donor properties exhibit the unique ability to transition within the
continuum of neutral (L-type) and anionic (X-type) metal bonding in response to their local …

The synthesis and characterization of abnormal N‐heterocyclic carbene, cyclic
(alkyl)(amino) carbene, and mesoionic carbene copper (I) complexes are reported. These …

The chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes, particularly imidazol-2-ylidenes, has been
exhaustively documented in the literature. Amongst the many bond activation reactions …

DOI: 10.1039/9781849737692-00001 1, 2, 3-triazoles derived through copper (I) catalysed
'click'chemistry have received rapidly growing interest for their application in new ligand …
