Direct Synthesis of N‐Heterocyclic Carbene‐Stabilized Copper Nanoparticles from an N‐Heterocyclic Carbene–Borane [PDF]
AbstractN‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐stabilized copper nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized from an NHC–borane adduct and mesitylcopper(I) under thermal conditions (refluxing toluene for 2.5 h). NPs with a size distribution of 11.6±1.8 nm were obtained. The interaction between Cu NPs and NHC ligands was probed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which

Iron- and cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of carbene phosphinidenes [PDF]
In the presence of stoichiometric or catalytic amounts of [M{N(SiMe3)2}2] (M=Fe, Co), N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) react with primary phosphines to give a series of carbene phosphinidenes of the type (NHC)·PAr. The formation of (IMe4)·PMes (Mes=mesityl)

Non-classical N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes [PDF]
The expansion of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands for transition metals to mesoionic ligand systems has led to the discovery of a wide range of non-classical carbene-type ligands. These non-classical carbene-type ligands are characterised by a significantly lower heteroatom stabilisation of the (putative) free carbene, a situation that also affects ...

Theoretical rationalisation for the mechanism of N-heterocyclic carbene-halide reductive elimination at CuIII, AgIII and AuIII [PDF]
Reductive elimination of imidazolium salts from CuIII is extremely sensitive to the anionic ligand (X or Y) type on Cu (e.g. ΔG‡ ranges from 4.7 kcal mol-1 to 31.8 kcal mol-1, from chloride to benzyl).

Isolation and Reactivity of a Square‐Planar Trisamido Silane
We report the synthesis and comprehensive characterisation of a square‐planar Si(+IV) hydride supported by an unsymmetric, trianionic and dearomatised N,N,N‐pincer ligand. This system enables element–ligand cooperative reactivity as an alternative to silicon‐centred redox chemistry, illuminating a largely unexplored regime in high‐valent silicon ...

Synthesis and Structures of Fused N-Heterocylic Carbenes and Their Rhodium Complexes [PDF]
New procedures for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbenes with multiple fused rings have been developed utilizing a key ring-closing metathesis step. Rhodium complexes were obtained via the pentafluorophenyl carbene adducts.

A Facile Route to C2-Substituted Imidazolium Ionic Liquids
A convenient route for the preparation of C2-substituted imidazolium ionic liquids is reported. This method involves the alkylation of N-heterocyclic carbenes, which are readily generated from the C2-unsubstituted imidazolium ionic liquids. It works well
