About this document
Carbene Stabilization of Main-Group Molecules by Zixuan Zheng is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes recent work stabilizing highly reactive main group molecules using bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Key findings include: 1) The synthesis of NHC-stabilized neutral diborenes, disilicon, bis-silylene, dipnictogens, and phosphinidene. 2) NHC ligands provide steric protection and allow isolation of these low-oxidation state, normally unstable compounds. 3) Structural characterization reveals the NHC ligands adopt various coordination geometries, such as tetrahedral for
