Complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes for hydro-functionalization reactions

Structures of Cu-NHC Complexes. Note that the same structures are available for Ag-NHC and Au-NHC Invention Summary: Unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) hold pivotal significance in modern catalysis and material science due to their versatile and tunable properties. Their unique electronic and steric attributes enable tailored...

Novel Ligands for Transition-Metal Catalysis

Invention Summary: N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are tremendously valuable ligands in homogeneous catalysis. IPr (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) represents the most important NHC. Rutgers scientists have developed novel, sterically bulky, easily accessible NHC ligand IPr# (referred to as “hash” series) that can...
