N-Heterocyclic carbenes, despite being isolated and characterized three decades ago, still
capture scientists' interest as versatile, modular and strongly coordinating moieties. In the …

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 …

The imidazolin-2-imino group is an N-heterocyclic imino functionality that derives from the
class of compounds known as guanidines. The exocyclic nitrogen atom preferably bonds to …

Reactions of a boryl‐substituted acyclic silylene with carbon dioxide and monoxide are
reported. The former proceeds through oxygen atom abstraction, generating CO (with …

The amino imidazolin-2-imine ligand [HAmIm, 1, 2-(DippNH)–C6H4–N═ C (N i PrCMe) 2] is
employed in the synthesis of the paramagnetic cobalt (I) arene complex Co (AmIm)(η 6 …

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 …

Main group carbonyl analogues (R2E= O) derived from p‐block elements (E= groups 13 to
15) have long been considered as elusive species. Previously, employment of chemical …

A variety of chemical transformations benefit from the use of strong electron‐donating
ancillary ligands, such as alkylphosphines or N‐heterocyclic carbenes when electron‐rich …

The catalytic activity of actinide-based catalysts is presented herein for the hydroboration
and deoxygenation of isocyanates with pinacolborane (HBpin). A modified class of ligand …
