چکیده
Routes to pincer and chelate carbene complexes of Pd, Rh, and Ir include double geminal CH activation, metallation, and CH activation. Abnormal binding via imidazole C5 can occur, and ion pairing can strongly influence C2 vs. C5 binding. Prior ligand binding via pyridine N before metallation is not essential. Computational methods are used extensively, for example, to compare N vs. C binding in imidazole. The possibility of C binding by histidine in metalloenzymes is discussed.

Normal and Abnormal Bonding of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Impact on Stability, Reactivity, and Catalysis
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), typically derived from imidazolium salts, have provided highly powerful ligands for catalysis. Recently, abnormal C4 bonding rather than normal C2 bonding has been discovered as a new carbene bonding mode. We were interested in comparing the consequences of these two bonding modes on the metal center. Therefore we synthesized related palladium complexes 1 and 2 c...
متن کاملAbnormal carbenes derived from the 1,5-cycloaddition product between azides and alkynes: structural characterization of Pd(II) complexes and their catalytic properties.
The exclusive formation of the 1,5-cycloaddition product between azides and alkynes is taken advantage of in generating the first examples of abnormal carbenes from these precursors. This new route provides unprecedented post-functionalization possibilities for such abnormal carbenes.
متن کاملStabilization of cyclic and acyclic carbon(0) compounds by differential coordination of heterocyclic carbenes: a theoretical assessment.
Recently, donor stabilized divalent carbon(0) compounds have undergone intense experimental and theoretical investigation due to their strong electron rich character. In this Article, some new cyclic and acyclic carbon(0) compounds stabilized by differential coordination modes (such as abnormal, remote and a mixture of both) of N-heterocyclic carbenes are studied theoretically. The cyclic carbo...

N atom, thus providing carbenes derived from pyrazolium, isothiazolium, and even quinolinium salts that contain a stabilizing heteroatom in a remote position (G-J in Figure 1). Recently, carbenes such as K, which are comprised of only one heteroatom and lack delocalization through the heterocycle, have been discovered as versatile ligands, thus constituting another important class of carbenes w...
متن کاملSeeing orange: prawns tap into a pre-existing sensory bias of the Trinidadian guppy.
Sensory bias, a predisposition towards certain signals, has been implicated in the origin of mate preferences in some species. A risk associated with these biases is that they can be co-opted by predators as sensory lures. Here we propose that the orange spots on the brown pincers of a diurnal, predatory species of prawn function as lures for Trinidadian guppies, which have a sensory bias for o...
