Non-heteroatom-substituted alkylidene complexes of groups 10 and 11

Description

This review aims to offer a detailed summary of the discoveries regarding non-heteroatom-substituted alkylidenes of group 10 and 11 metals that have appeared in the literature since the first isolable representative of this class was reported in 2002. Special attention is focused on synthetic and bonding aspects of well-defined species. The importance of this family of compounds in catalytic organic transformations is often mentioned and a number of references are provided. We stress, however, that it is not the main issue of this review, as this topic has received considerable attention in the current literature.
