Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

Více o knize

Focusing on the synthesis and application of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands in homogeneous catalysis, this book explores a variety of transition-metal carbene complexes. It delves into their fundamental reaction chemistry and catalytic roles, alongside detailed mechanistic studies that reveal catalytic cycles and decomposition processes. Notably, it discusses the reductive elimination of carbenes leading to imidazolium cations, highlighting its significance in catalyst deactivation, while also presenting strategies to enhance catalyst performance in various reactions.
