Complexes bearing protic N-heterocyclic carbenes (protic NHCs, pNHCs), defined as cyclic
carbenes stabilized by two heteroatoms including at least one NH group, have been less …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as one of the most useful class of ligands
for metal complexes primarily due to their relatively easy synthesis, broad structural and …

Metal–ligand bifunctional cooperation has attracted much attention because it offers a
powerful methodology to realize a number of highly efficient and selective catalysts. In this …

Ruthenium (II) p-cymene complexes with picolyl-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes [(η6-
p-cymene) Ru (L)(Cl)][PF6](L= 3-methyl-1-(2-picolyl) imidazol-2-ylidene (1a), 3-isopropyl-1 …

The review describes methods for the preparation of complexes bearing protic NHC ligands,
ie NHCs featuring an NH, NH or NH, NR substitution pattern. The protic NHC ligands are …

The catalyticwater oxidation activity of mononuclear ruthenium complexes comprising a
pyridine-functionalized abnormal triazolylidene ligand can be adjusted by modification of the …

Since the discovery of the first air stable NHC, this class of compounds has been intensively
studied and applied in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis due to the …

This Minireview provides an overview of the chemistry of pyrazole and N‐heterocyclic
carbene (NHC) complexes bearing an NH group at the β‐position to the metal. The …

This review summarizes the recent progress in the field of S-functionalized N-heterocyclic
carbene ligands and their metal complexes. The syntheses of the azolium precursors and of …

A new family of protic NHC Ru complexes ligated with a phosphine-tethered imidazole
moiety were prepared, which can act as excellent catalysts for acceptorless …
