Interconversion between Ni and Pd bound n-heterocyclic carbenes and azolium salts : fundamental reactivity and applications to catalysis

This thesis focuses on different aspects of the relationship between N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of Ni and Pd and azolium salts, particularly imidazolium salts. Chapter one introduces the reader to the field of organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. General aspects of the che...
