Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

Hydrosilylation of olefins is the key catalytic reaction for the production of industrially
important organosilicon compounds such as organofunctional silanes and silicones …

Hydroamination, an atom-economic one-step reaction that refers to the addition of an NH
unit into CC/CX multiple bonds, provides an ideally efficient methodology to construct C–N …

The imidazolin-2-imino group is an N-heterocyclic imino functionality that derives from the
class of compounds known as guanidines. The exocyclic nitrogen atom preferably bonds to …

Imidazolin-2-imines represent a particularly basic and nucleophilic subclass of guanidines,
and a large variety of these N-donor ligands have become available, inter alia, by the …

Main group carbonyl analogues (R2E= O) derived from p‐block elements (E= groups 13 to
15) have long been considered as elusive species. Previously, employment of chemical …

A variety of chemical transformations benefit from the use of strong electron‐donating
ancillary ligands, such as alkylphosphines or N‐heterocyclic carbenes when electron‐rich …

An array of rare-earth bis (aminobenzyl) complexes supported by imidazolin-2-iminato
ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. These complexes showed high …

Since the successful isolation of various stable diazoolefins, an array of complexes
containing these promising ligands have been synthesized. We herein report the synthesis …
