The fascinating story of olefin (or alkene) metathesis (eq 1) began almost five decades ago,
when Anderson and Merckling reported the first carbonrcarbon double-bond rearrangement …

This comprehensive reference and handbook covers in depth all major aspects of the use of
N-heterocyclic carbene-complexes in organic synthesis: from the theoretical background to …

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, introduced as analogues to phosphines, are recently
getting wide attention in the design of diverse homogeneous catalytic systems. 1-6 During …

In less than 20 years N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become well-established
ancillary ligands for the preparation of transition metal-based catalysts. This is mainly due to …

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 …

We present a free web application for the calculation of the buried volume (% VBur) of NHC
ligands. The web application provides a graphic and user‐friendly interface to the SambVca …

The strong σ-donor but poor π-acceptor abilities of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) result in
chemical stability and coordination versatility, thus allowing them to coordinate with many …

The direct Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of amides catalyzed by Pd-NHC complexes is
reported. Using a single protocol, commercially available, air-and moisture-stable (NHC) Pd …

IPr (IPr= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) represents the most important
NHC (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand throughout the field of homogeneous catalysis …
