The Organometallic Chemistry of N-heterocyclic Carbenes
Reeks: Inorganic Chemistry: A Textbook Series
Han Vinh Huynh
- The
- Organometallic
- Chemistry
- of
- N-heterocyclic
- Carbenes
- describes
- various
- aspects
- of
- N-heterocyclic
- Carbenes
- (NHCs)
- and
- their
- transition
- metal
- complexes
- at
- an
- entry
- level
- suitable
- for
- advanced
- undergraduate
- students
- and
- above.The
- book
- starts
- with
- a
- historical
- overview
- on
- the
- quest
- for
- carbenes
- and
- their
- complexes.
- Subsequently,
- unique
- properties,
- reactivities
- and
- nomenclature
- of
- the
- four
- classical
- NHCs
- derived
- from
- imidazoline,
- imidazole,
- benzimidazole
- and
- 1,2,4-triazole
- are
- elaborated.
- General
- and
- historically
- relevant
- synthetic
- aspects
- for
- NHCs,
- their
- precursors
- and
- complexes
- are
- then
- explained.
- The
- book
- continues
- with
- coverage
- on
- the
- preparation
- and
- characteristics
- of
- selected
- NHC
- complexes
- containing
- the
- most
- common
- metals
- in
- this
- area,
- i.e.
- Ni,
- Pd,
- Pt,
- Ag,
- Cu,
- Au,
- Ru,
- Rh
- and
- Ir.
- The
- book
- concludes
- with
- an
- overview
- and
- outlook
- on
- the
- development
- of
- various
- non-classical
- NHCs
- beyond
- the
- four
- classical
- types.Topics
- covered
- include:The
- Organometallic
- Chemistry
- of
- N-heterocyclic
- Carbenes
- is
- an
- essential
- resource
- for
- all
- students
- and
- researchers
- interested
- in
- this
- increasingly
- important
- and
- popular
- field
- of research.
