Understanding the fundamentals and applications of chirality relies substantially on the
amplification of chirality through hierarchical assemblies involving various weak interactions …

The synthesis of NHC‐PdCl2‐3‐chloropyridine (NHC= N‐heterocyclic carbene) complexes
from readily available starting materials in air is described. The 2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl …

During the last decade, the use of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHCs) based on
imidazolium ions and related heterocycles has emerged as an alternative to phosphines in …

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 …

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for transition metals has increased
dramatically in the last few years, spurred on by their remarkable successes in the areas of …

The continuous growth of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry is a fact that is pointed
out in all the introductions of the publications regarding NHCs that have appeared in the …
