N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are attracting worldwide interest because of their
considerable scope and potential in coordination/organometallic chemistry, catalysis and …

The σ-hole and π-hole interactions allow for a systematic understanding of some features of
the attractive interactions involving elements of groups 13–18 of the periodic table and of …

Since the discovery of persistent carbenes by the isolation of 1, 3-di-l-adamantylimidazol-2-
ylidene by Arduengo and coworkers, we witnessed a fast growth in the design and …

Abnormal carbene ligand formation from a free monodentate N-heterocyclic carbene, 1, 3-di-

The hexahydride complex OsH6 (P i Pr3) 2 (1) reacts with 1-mesitylimidazole, 1-
methylimidazole, 1-(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl) imidazole, and 1-(2-hydroxypropyl) imidazole …

Catalytic dinitrogen reduction with the Schrock complex is still hampered by low turn-over
numbers that are likely to result from a degradation of the chelate ligand. In this work, we …

The initial reaction observed between the N-heterocyclic carbene IMes (IMes= 1, 3-bis (2, 4,
