Ligand design, for the purpose of stabilizing transition metal complexes or unusual valencies of main group elements, is the focus of this book. Consequently, a great deal of thought has been invested in the design of organic molecules specifically tailored for this purpose. This research, therefore, provides synthetic routes to practical ligands which can fill this niche. The design of six-membered, singlet, N-heterocyclic carbenes for the stabilization of transition metal centers constitutes the first important area of current ligand synthesis and development. The related...
