Synthesis and coordination chemistry of an N-heterocyclic carbene-containing tridentate ligand

One of the most exciting advances in transition-metal-catalyzed processes has been the move toward use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as ancillary ligands. The variation possible in NHC design is immense with one of the most important design aspects being the incorporation of NHC donors into poly...
