Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes
TL;DR: A concise overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes in modern chemistry is provided, summarizing their general properties and uses and highlighting how these features are being exploited in a selection of pioneering recent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Overview of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
TL;DR: The successful isolation and characterization of an N-heterocyclic carbene in 1991 opened up a new class of organic compounds for investigation as discussed by the authors, and they became the most powerful tools in organic chemistry, with numerous applications in commercially important processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ballbot-type motion of N-heterocyclic carbenes on gold surfaces.
Gaoqiang Wang,Andreas Rühling,Saeed Amirjalayer,Marek Knor,Johannes B. Ernst,Christian Richter,Hong-Jun Gao,Alexander Timmer,Hong-Ying Gao,Nikos L. Doltsinis,Frank Glorius,Harald Fuchs +11 more
TL;DR: An understanding of the microscopic mechanism behind the high mobility observed for NHCs is provided, which allows a complementary surface-assisted synthesis of dimeric and hitherto unknown trimeric NHC gold complexes on the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-Formylation of Amines by Methanol Activation
TL;DR: The homogeneous catalyzed dehydrogenation of methanol in a synthetically valuable cross-coupling reaction was achieved using a simple ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complex and primary or secondary amines can be converted into formamides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negatively Charged N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Stabilized Pd and Au Nanoparticles and Efficient Catalysis in Water
Angélique Ferry,Kira Schaepe,Patricia Tegeder,Christian Richter,Kathryn M. Chepiga,Bart Jan Ravoo,Frank Glorius +6 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of negatively charged N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-functionalized palladium and gold nanoparticles (NPs), which are stable in water for over 3 months are described.
