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 …

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 increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is linked to climate changes; hence there is an
urgent need to reduce the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. The utilization of CO2 as …

Utilizing renewable resources is a prerequisite for a sustainable society. One easily
available renewable carbon resource is carbon dioxide (CO2), which has the advantages 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 carbenes (NHCs) are nowadays ubiquitous in organometallic chemistry and
catalysis. Recently, a synthetic method which makes use of weak bases and desirable …

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) is a well established class of new ligands in organometallic
chemistry. Their use as ligands in many reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes …

The well-defined copper (I) boryl complex [(IPr) Cu (Bpin)][where IPr= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-
