Carbene Ligands in Surface Chemistry: From Stabilization of Discrete Elemental Allotropes to Modification of Nanoscale and Bulk Substrates

“… In 2000, Herrmann and co-workers reported similar NHC–Pd 0 complexes . At the time, the fact that Ni 0 , Pd 0 , and Pt 0 complexes were isolated was not by itself remarkable; these metals had previously been isolated as complexes with other L-type ligandse.g., dibenzylideneacetone (dba), , CO, and PPh 3 . − However, these reports suggested that NHCs have the right combination of steric and electronic properties to complement these canonical ligands. Furthermore, the unique properties , and synthetic flexibility of NHCs hinted that maybe they could be used to isolate other elusive species.…”

Nickel-Catalyzed Hydrocarboxylation of Terminal Unactivated Alkenes: Formation of Branched Carboxylic Acids and Competing Catalyst Deactivation from CO2 Reduction to CO

“…We recommend all reactions be conducted and quenched in fume hood, and practitioners wear PPE. For quenching Ni­(CO) 4 , replacing CO ligands with triphenylphosphine or oxidation with an I 2 /acetone mixture is recommended …”
