Abstract
Carbene chemistry has been tremendously developed during the last 20 years. NHC carbenes have found many applications as ligands in organometallic chemistry or as catalysts in organocatalysis. On the other hand, the so-called “non-NHC stable carbenes” have had a restrained development to date in spite of the high potential of this family of carbenes which offers many more possibilities in structure modifications, resulting in original reactivities. This chapter gives an overview over non-NHC stable singlet carbenes and their properties as ligands.
