Over the last fifteen years, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have
mostly been used as ancillary ligands for the preparation of
transition metal-based catalysts. Compared to phosphorus-containing
ligands, NHCs tend to bind more strongly to metal centres, avoiding
the necessity for the use of excess ligand in catalytic reactions.
The corresponding complexes are often less sensitive to air and
moisture, and have proven remarkably resistant to oxidation. Recent
developments in catalysis applications have been facilitated by the
availability of carbenes stable enough to be bottled, particularly
for their use as organocatalysts. This book shows how
N-heterocyclic carbenes can be useful in various fields of
chemistry and not merely laboratory curiosities or simple phosphine
mimics. NHCs are best known for their contribution to ruthenium and
palladium-catalysed reactions but the scope of this book is much
broader. The synthesis of NHC ligands and their corresponding metal
complexes are covered in depth. Moreover, the biological activity
of NHC-containing complexes, as well as an overview of their
theoretical aspects are included. Such metal species are further
examined, not only in terms of their catalytic applications, but
also of their stereoelectronic parameters and reactivity/stability.
Finally, special attention is given to the hot topic of
organocatalysis. The book will be of interest to postgraduates,
academic researchers and those working in industry.
