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 …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) decomposition is increasingly acknowledged as a viable strategy for
mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and addressing ozone depletion, aligning significantly …

Herein we present the catalytic activation of N2O at a BiI⇄ BiIII redox platform. The activation
of such a kinetically inert molecule was achieved by the use of bismuthinidene catalysts …

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas”, is formed as a by-product in several
industrial processes. It is also readily available by thermal decomposition of ammonium …

Cooperativity between metal centres is identified as a crucial step in dinitrogen reduction
both for the industrial Haber–Bosch process and for the natural fixation of nitrogen by …

Herein, we report the redox reactivity of a multimetallic uranium complex supported by
triphenylsiloxide (− OSiPh3) ligands, where we show that low valent synthons can be …

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 …

This review article summarizes efforts to use nitrous oxide (N2O,'laughing gas') as a reagent
in synthetic chemistry. The focus will be on reactions which are carried out in homogeneous …
