Abstract
Abstract The use of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in manganese and rhenium catalysis is underdeveloped in comparison to other transition metals. Herein, we cover the recent and stimulating progress in homogeneous catalysis using Mn‐NHC complexes, namely in hydrosilylation, hydrogenation, and borrowing hydrogen processes. Of particular interest is the application of Mn and Re NHC catalysts in the electrochemical and photochemical reduction of CO 2 .
