Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been well-established as
indispensable tools in modern organic synthesis. One of the major research goals in cross …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …

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 …

Carbenes, thought of only as transient species for a long time, have become ubiquitous in
organometallic chemistry. Their interaction with a metal center, which allows for their …

Abstract Die Chemie der heterocyclischen Carbene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stürmisch
entwickelt. Nach den Imidazolin‐2‐ylidenen wurden weitere cyclische Diaminocarbene mit …

Recent theoretical studies are reviewed which show that the naked group 14 atoms E= C–
Pb in the singlet 1D state behave as bidentate Lewis acids that strongly bind two σ donor …

Carbenes are neutral compounds featuring a divalent carbon atom. Their rich reactivity both
as naked species and within complexes of transition metals has allowed for spectacular …

This critical review is an updated survey of metal–carbenes as potential anticancer
chemotherapeutics. We report on the recent advances in the discovery of N-heterocyclic …

Metal complexes featuring acyclic diaminocarbene ligands have recently emerged as
powerful emitters for prospective use in OLEDs and other electroluminescent technologies …

Y in which a carbene,: CXY, is coordinated to a metal atom, M, and L „simply represents the
various other coordinated ligands. At the present time, few complexes [which are of Hg (II) …
