Using Iridium to Illuminate N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

An international team of chemists recently reported progress in synthesizing and studying iridium complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Such carbene complexes have attracted interest as catalysts for various reactions, including olefin metathesis, hydrogenation, and isomerization. Further understanding of this ligand family is expected contribute toward a sustainably green chemical industry.
