Abstract
This perspective summarizes recent results, which demonstrate that stable class="Chemical">carbenes can activate small molecules (<class="Chemical">span class="Chemical">CO, H(2), NH(3) and P(4)) and stabilize highly reactive intermediates (main group elements in the zero oxidation state and paramagnetic species). These two tasks were previously exclusive for transition metal complexes.Entities:
