N-heterocyclic carbenes: a new concept in organometallic catalysis.

TL;DR: N-Heterocyclic carbenes have become universal ligands in organometallic and inorganic coordination chemistry as mentioned in this paper, and they not only bind to any transition metal, be it in low or high oxidation states, but also to main group elements such as beryllium, sulfur, and iodine.

Heterocyclic Carbenes: Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry

TL;DR: New methods for the synthesis of complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands such as the oxidative addition or the metal atom template controlled cyclized isocyanides have been developed recently.

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes†‡

TL;DR: The chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes has long been limited to metal coordination compounds derived from azolium precursors, a development that was started by Ofele and Wanzlick in 1968 as discussed by the authors.
