N-Heterocyclic and Mesoionic Carbene Complexes of Rhodium and Palladium: Coordination Chemistry and Catalysis
(2015-05-04)Dimeric rhodium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes [Rh(NHC)(C2H4)Cl]2 react with a variety of other neutral donors to form heteroleptic complexes [(L)Rh(NHC)(C2H4)Cl] (L = phosphine, pyridine) or [(L)Rh(NHC)Cl] (L = ... -
N-heterocyclic Carbene Synthesis Towards Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold
Modifying surfaces with self assembled monolayers (SAMs) is a simple and effective way to create functional materials. Traditionally compounds containing a thiol head group are used to generate SAMs on gold surfaces. ... -
N-Heterocyclic carbenes as novel ligands for metal surfaces, nanoparticles and nanoclusters
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are carbon-based organic molecules that have been extensively employed as ligands for transition metal complexes for the past twenty years. They form stable metal complexes that can be used ... -
