Mesoionic carbenes are a subclass of the family of N-heterocyclic carbenes that generally
feature less heteroatom stabilization of the carbenic carbon and hence impart specific donor …

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 …

Cobalt–N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have emerged as an attractive class of 3d
transition metal catalysts for a broad range of chemical processes, including cross-coupling …

Complexes of metals with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (M/NHC) are typically considered
the systems of choice in homogeneous catalysis due to their stable metal–ligand framework …

A three-coordinate cobalt (I) complex exhibits high catalytic efficiency and selectivity as well
as good functional group compatibility in alkyne hydrosilylation.[Co (IAd)(PPh3)(CH2TMS)] …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used ligands and reagents in modern inorganic
synthesis as well as in homogeneous catalysis and organocatalysis. However, NHCs are …

Cobalt (II) complexes capable of catalyzing alkene hydrosilylation in the absence of external
activators are rarely known, and their activation mode has remained poorly understood. We …

1, 3-Imidazole-based mesoionic carbenes (iMICs) are a very promising class of carbon-
donor ligands in synthesis and catalysis. However, a systematic study of the quantification of …

Acetyl coenzyme A synthase (ACS) catalyzes the formation and deconstruction of the key
biological metabolite, acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). The active site of ACS features a …

In the presence of stoichiometric or catalytic amounts of [M {N (SiMe3) 2} 2](M= Fe, Co), N‐
