Looking for Stable Carbenes: The Difficulty in Starting Anew

TL;DR: The quest for stable carbenes is a long saga whose origin can be traced back to the first half of the 1800s as discussed by the authors, and the first stable crystalline carbene was reported in the early 1970s.

A Brief Survey of Our Contribution to Stable Carbene Chemistry

TL;DR: This personal account summarizes the work, beginning with the discovery of the first stable carbene in 1988 up until the recent isolation of mesoionic carbenes, showing that these stable species are not limited to the role of ligand for transition metals, but that they are also powerful agents for the activation of small molecules, and for the stabilization of highly reactive diamagnetic and paramagnetic species.
