Cyclic iron tetra N-heterocyclic carbenes: synthesis, properties, reactivity, and catalysis
Tim P. Schlachta, Fritz E. Kühn
Abstract
reduction, aziridination and epoxidation catalysis and mechanisms as well as decomposition pathways are described. This review will help researchers evaluate the structural and electronic properties of their complexes and target their catalyst properties through ligand design.
