Chemistry of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transition Metal Complexes of Neutral eta1-Carbon Ligands

Part of the book series: Topics in Organometallic Chemistry ((TOPORGAN,volume 30))

Abstract

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have developed into an important class of ligands in transition metal coordination chemistry. They have been employed successfully as spectator ligands in various catalytically active metal complexes and as organocatalysts. In this chapter we present some important synthetic methods for the preparation of various NHCs and their metal complexes.
