Late Transition Metal Complexes Bearing Functionalized N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and the Catalytic Hydrogenation of Polar Double Bonds

Late transition metal complexes of silver(I), rhodium(I), ruthenium(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) containing a nitrile-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand (C-CN) were prepared. The nitrile group on the C–CN ligand was shown to undergo hydrolysis under basic conditions, leading to a si...
