Metallibure
Metallibure is a term used in the field of chemistry to describe a class of organometallic compounds that contain a metal atom bonded to a carbene ligand. These compounds are of interest due to their unique chemical properties and potential applications in catalysis and other areas of chemistry.
History[edit | edit source]
The first metallibure was reported in the scientific literature in the late 20th century. Since then, a variety of different metallibures have been synthesized and studied, with a particular focus on their potential use in catalysis.
Structure and Bonding[edit | edit source]
In a metallibure, the metal atom is bonded to a carbene ligand. The nature of this bond can vary depending on the specific metal and carbene involved, but in general, it is characterized by a high degree of covalent character. This results in a strong bond that is resistant to chemical reactions, making metallibures stable under a variety of conditions.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Metallibures have been studied for their potential use in catalysis. In particular, they have been found to be effective catalysts for a variety of chemical reactions, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. This makes them of interest for the synthesis of a wide range of chemical compounds.
