Although cyclobutanes have been known for more than a century, their use as synthetic
intermediates has only flourished in the last 30 years. Their diversity of reactions is the result …

Cycloaddition reactions in organic chemistry are not only among the synthetically most
useful reactions, they are also among the theoretically and mechanistically best understood …

The formal combination of a carbene and an organometallic fragment yields carbene
complexes. They are commonly classified as Fischer-and Schrock-type complexes. While …
