This project explores the use of mesoionic carbenes as ligands in transition metal complexes to enhance catalytic activity. By leveraging these ligands, the project aims to develop sustainable catalysts for challenging chemical transformations, particularly using abundant metals like manganese, iron, and nickel.
The non-innocence of specific ligands in transition metal complexes is well-documented.
For example, mesoionic carbenes engage in bond activation processes via reversible hydrogen capture.
Such cooperativity between the metal center and the ligand flattens the potential energy surface of a catalytic reaction and hence rises the competence of the catalyst, thus entailing higher turnover numbers as well as the conversion of more challenging substrates.
Likewise, such cooperativity is expected to e…
