Purine-derived N-heterocyclic carbene metal complexes: catalytic applications and reactivity
{{output}}
Caffeine and other purine bases are naturally occurring, inexpensive, and readily available heterocycles composed of a fused imidazole-pyrimidine framework, whose five-membered imidazole core corresponds to an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor. These feat... ...
