Accessible Syntheses of Late Transition Metal (Pre)Catalysts Bearing N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands

What is it about?

This review collects together the ways in which useful metal complexes can be prepared by researchers who may not be specialists in organometallic chemistry. The complexes prepared are useful catalysts for a number of reactions that are used to prepare chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and herbicides, and materials.
