Copper N-heterocyclic carbenes : novel electrochemical synthesis, stabilisation of variable oxidation states and unusual carbene reactivity

This thesis concerns the synthesis, structural characterisation and reactivity of a range of novel organometallic complexes. The research primarily focuses on N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands, and their coordination to copper cations. A novel electrochemical synthetic procedure for the synthesis o...
