Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

Carbenes have evolved from transient laboratory curiosities to a robust, diverse, and
surprisingly impactful ligand class. A variety of different carbenes have significantly …

The study of main-group molecules that behave and react similarly to transition-metal (TM)
complexes has attracted significant interest in recent decades. Most notably, the attractive …

Recent years have seen rapid advances in the chemistry of small molecules containing
electron‐precise boron–boron bonds. This Review provides an overview of the latest …

Molecules containing multiple bonds between atoms—most often in the form of olefins—are
ubiquitous in nature, commerce, and science, and as such have a huge impact on everyday …

Organoboranes are some of the most synthetically valuable and widely used intermediates
in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Their synthesis, however, is limited by the …

Optimization of the electronic structure and surface physicochemical properties of PtNi
nanoalloys by incorporation of sulfur (S) is an effective strategy for improving the efficiency of …

A 2, 3-dihydro-1 H-1, 2-azaborole derivative 2 was converted to a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)
carbene (cAAC) via 1, 2-hydrogen migration triggered by boranes to afford cAAC-borane …

Three-membered-ring scaffolds of carbocycles, namely, cyclopropanes and cyclopropenes,
are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. These molecules exhibit a …
