Abstract

Coordinatively unsaturated, electron-rich metal centers have proven to be powerful species for small molecule activation and functionalization. Due to their ?-donor and ?-accepting properties, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are particularly suitable for the synthesis of a variety of low- to high-valent metal complexes; thus, they are perfectly suitable to act as supporting ligands for small molecule activation in reactive coordination complexes. The steric bulk of NHC ligands is highly tunable and a variety of ligands can be conveniently synthesized.
