With a chemical "trick", scientists at Heidelberg University have succeeded in isolating a stable gold carbene complex. Chemist Prof. Dr. Bernd F. Straub and his team are the first to have created the ...
A triplet diphenylcarbene with unprecedented stability has been reported by chemists at Japan's Mie University (J. Am. Chem. Soc., published online Dec. 31, 2005, dx ...
Carbene complexes are organometallic species characterised by a neutral divalent carbon centre coordinated to a transition metal. These complexes fall into distinct classes: Fischer carbenes, which ...
Chemists can easily convert diazo compounds to carbenes or metal carbenes, which can then go on to participate in a wide range of powerful insertion chemistry. But diazo compounds can also explode ...
