N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Main Group Chemistry.
Masters thesis, Indian institute of technology Hyderabad.
Abstract
The discovery of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the early 1990 lead to the profound application of these compounds in the academic as well as industrial research. The NHC compounds are divalent compounds which play an important role in two electron donor ligands and also in catalyzing a reaction. The study of low-coordinate main group compounds has gained attention in the area of research in the past decades. Remarkable results were observed when the main group elements complexes along with N-heterocyclic compounds were used in order to be stabilized and isolated as Lewis acid/base adducts. This feature has enabled researchers to investigate a number of syntheses with specific electronic properties, which in turn opened ways for new discoveries in the formation of new organic catalysts.
