• openAccess   A review in Janus-type bis-NHC ligands 

      Sierra Marrero, Alex Universitat Jaume I (2020-09-24)
      From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, Bertrand, Arduengo and their co-workers synthesized and isolated stable nucleophilic carbenes1–3 . Since then, N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (from now on NHCs) have been elevated ...
    • openAccess   Synthesis of bis-NHC precursors and study of their coordination capabilities 

      Ballester Salvador, Lucía Universitat Jaume I (2021-06-25)
      N-Heterocyclic carbenes (from now on NHCs) are neutral compounds containing a divalent carbon atom with six valence electrons and being part of a nitrogen atom containing heterocycle. Four electrons are involved in σ-bonds ...
