Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on two different types of organometallic compounds, carbenes and imides. The first project deals with the archetypal Schrock carbene, and the second project studies complexes that contain metal-nitrogen bonds, both amides and imides.
A summary of the research in this dissertation is discussed in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 begins the studies of the archetypal Schrock carbene (ButCH2)3Ta=CHBut. The studies include the synthesis of deuterated compounds (ButCD2)3TaCl2 and ButCD2Li, observation and identification of the intermediate, Ta(CD2But …
