Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview of the historical development of N-heterocyclic carbenes, from inception to isolation of the first stable aminocarbene, followed by the early applications of N-heterocyclic carbene–metal complexes as catalysts.

Key words

N-heterocyclic carbenes - stable carbenes - metal–carbene complexes - ligands - catalysts
