"N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Transition Metal Catalysis and
Organocatalysis" features all catalytic reactions enabled by
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), either directly as organocatalysts
or as ligands for transition metal catalysts. An explosion in the
use of NHCs has been reported in the literature during the past
seven years making this comprehensive overview highly apropos.
The book begins with an introductory overview of NHCs which
could have been subtitled "all you need to know about NHCs." The
main body of the book is dedicated to applications of NHCs in
catalysis. In addition to the success stories of NHCs in
metathesis, NHCs in cross coupling and more recently NHCs in
organocatalysis, all other less publicized areas are also covered.
As the success of NHCs is generally attributed to their potential
to stabilize metal centres, the inclusion of a chapter on the
decomposition of NHC catalysts is pertinent. The book closes with a
chapter describing the applications of NHCs in industrial
processes, which is the first coverage of its kind, and brings a
unique industrial context to this book.
Included in this book: Historical aspects of NHCsSynthetic
pathways to NHC precursors, free NHCs and complexesMethods of
characterisation of NHCs and related complexesElectronic properties

"N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Transition Metal Catalysis and
Organocatalysis" provides a fresh view of NHCs since most
contributors are young emerging researchers in the field of
homogeneous catalysis using NHCs. This group of contributors is
complemented by highly established academic researchers and an
industrialist. This book is comprehensive, from the basic features
of NHCs to the latest advances, hence it is suitable for both the
novice and the expert.
