Abstract
Functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands are particularly useful and widely applied ligands in transition-metal chemistry and catalysis. In this article we introduce an emerging synthetic method for functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands developed from the reactivity study on cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene compounds, namely postfunctionalization. The status quo of this method for the preparation of novel donor-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene complexes and their application in catalysis are discussed.
