Cyclic (alkyl)-and (aryl)-(amino) carbenes (CAACs and CAArCs) are stronger σ-donors and
π-acceptors than imidazol-2-ylidenes and imidazolidin-2-ylidenes, the well-known N …

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 …

Since the latter quarter of the twentieth century, main group chemistry has undergone
significant advances. Power's timely review in 2010 highlighted the inherent differences …

The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

The formation of hydrides at heterogeneous copper surfaces results in dramatic structural
and reactivity changes, yet the morphologies of these materials and their respective roles in …

Ein Kennzeichen der seit 2005 bekannten cyclischen Alkylaminocarbene (CAACs) ist ihre
ausgeprägte Nucleophilie (σ‐Donor) und zugleich Elektrophile (π‐Akzeptor). Diese …

Mechanistic studies of the copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of vinylarenes and
internal alkenes are reported. Catalytic systems with both DTBM-SEGPHOS and SEGPHOS …

The reduction of CO2 into formic acid or its conjugate base, using dihydrogen, is an
attractive process. While catalysts based on noble metals have shown high turnover …

Transient Cu–H monomers have long been invoked in the mechanisms of substrate
insertion in Cu–H catalysis. Their role from Cu–H aggregates has been mostly inferred since …

Hydrogen is seen as an increasingly important clean and sustainable energy source going
into the future. There are a host of materials being investigated for the storage of hydrogen …
