Beginning as chemical curiosities with the pioneering work of Curtius, 1a Staudinger, 1b and
even earlier efforts, 1c carbenes have played an important role as transient intermediates …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …

An important role in organometallic chemistry is predicted for N‐heterocyclic carbenes,
which are no longer laboratory curiosites but have developed into an industrially interesting …

Carbenes, thought of only as transient species for a long time, have become ubiquitous in
organometallic chemistry. Their interaction with a metal center, which allows for their …

A decade ago we initiated research, the goal of which was isolation of a stable carbene. Our
success has helped to catalyze a resurgence of interest in readily available and easily …

ylidene, a New Stable Carbene.

A practical introduction to orbital interaction theory and its applications in modern organic
chemistry Orbital interaction theory is a conceptual construct that lies at the very heart of …

Abstract Die Chemie der heterocyclischen Carbene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stürmisch
entwickelt. Nach den Imidazolin‐2‐ylidenen wurden weitere cyclische Diaminocarbene mit …

Replacement of hydrogen by fluorine can have some dramatic effects on the structure,
stability, and reactivity of organic molecules. 1-4 This is especially true for reactive …

With properly timed sequences of ultrafast electron pulses, it is now possible to image
complex molecular structures in the four dimensions of space and time with resolutions of …
