Reihe: Wiley Series of Reactive Intermediates in Chemistry and Biology

Presents the most innovative results in carbene chemistry,setting the foundation for new discoveries and applications
The discovery of stable carbenes has reinvigorated carbenechemistry research, with investigators seeking to develop carbenesinto new useful catalysts and ligands. Presenting the mostinnovative and promising areas of carbene research over the pastdecade, this book explores newly discovered structural, catalytic,and organometallic aspects of carbene chemistry, with an emphasison new and emerging synthetic applications.
Contemporary Carbene Chemistry features contributionsfrom an international team of pioneering carbene chemistryresearchers. Collectively, these authors have highlighted the mostinteresting and promising areas of investigation in the field. Thebook is divided into two parts:
* Part 1, Properties and Reactions of Carbenes, exploresnew findings on carbene stability, acid-base behavior, andcatalysis. Carbenic structure and reactivity are examined inchapters dedicated to stable carbenes, carbodicarbenes, carbenes asguests in supramolecular hosts, tunneling in carbene and oxacarbenereactions, and ultrafast kinetics of carbenes and their excitedstate precursors. Theoretical concerns are addressed in chapters oncomputational methods and dynamics applied to carbenereactions.
* Part 2, Metal Carbenes, is dedicated to the syntheticdimensions of carbenes, particularly the reactions and catalyticproperties of metal carbenes. The authors discuss lithium, rhodium,ruthenium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt, and gold.
All the chapters conclude with a summary of the currentsituation, new challenges on the horizon, and promising newresearch directions. A list of key reviews and suggestions forfurther reading also accompanies every chapter.
Each volume of the Wiley Series on Reactive Intermediates inChemistry and Biology focuses on a specific reactive intermediate,offering a broad range of perspectives from leading experts thatsets the stage for new applications and further discoveries.
