N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become without doubt one of the most exciting and
popular species in chemical science due to the ease of their preparation and modularity in …

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 discovery of ferrocene,[Fe (η5-C5H5) 2], seventy years ago has significantly influenced
chemical research and provided a key impetus for establishing and rapidly expanding …

Mesoionic carbenes (MICs) of the 1, 2, 3-triazolylidene type have established themselves as
a popular class of compounds over the past decade. Primary reasons for this popularity are …
