Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the most-used methods to evaluate the steric and electronic properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Quantification of these properties allows for a straightforward and quantitative comparison between different NHCs, allowing for a more enlightened selection of the appropriate carbene for any given application.

Key words

buried volume - density functional theory - electronic properties - N-heterocyclic carbenes - NMR methods - paramagnetic shielding - steric maps - steric properties
