Synthesis of Well-Defined N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) Complexes of Late Transition Metals
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as appropriate replacements for phosphines to synthesized highly active metal complexes in homogeneous catalysis. The advantages of NHCs over phosphines include ease of handling, minimal toxicity and powerful electron donating properties. They bind …

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes of the Late Transition Metals: A Computational and Structural Database Study
… study of the bonding in late transition metal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes is reported. The results illustrate a metal-carbon bond for these complexes, approximately 4% shorter than that of a M-C single bond found in metal alkyl complexes. As a consequence of this result, two hypotheses …

Design and modification of rhodium and iridium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation and antimicrobial activity
… demonstrate the wide utility of noble metal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. The first project details the design of iridium NHC amino acid complexes for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prochiral ketones. Iridium(I) bis-NHC complexes were found to undergo oxidative addition …
