This perspective highlights advances in the preparation and understanding of metal
nanoclusters stabilized by organic ligands with a focus on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes, despite being isolated and characterized three decades ago, still
capture scientists' interest as versatile, modular and strongly coordinating moieties. In the …

Heterogeneous catalysts represent the backbone of many industrial processes and thus
have a considerable societal impact. The active sites of these heterogeneous catalysts are …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become one of the most widely studied class of
ligands in molecular chemistry and have found applications in fields as varied as catalysis …

Atomically precise hydrido gold nanoclusters are extremely rare but interesting due to their
potential applications in catalysis. By optimization of molecular precursors, we have …

Abstract Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most
nucleophilic (σ donating) and also electrophilic (π‐accepting) stable carbenes known to …

This review is an update on tris (trimethylsilyl) silane, TTMSS, in organic chemistry, focusing
on the advancements of the past decade. The overview includes a wide range of chemical …

The achievement of long afterglow in aqueous solution and as well as with small effects of
dissolved oxygen is critical for its applications, but this is still a highly difficult and …

Abstract Free borylenes (R–B:) have only been spectroscopically characterized in the gas
phase or in matrices at very low temperatures. However, in recent years, a few mono‐and …

Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in
the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic …
