A general synthesis of transition-metal carbene complexes: Cr0, Fe0, Ir I , Ni II , Pd II , Pt II , and Au I mono- and oligo-carbene species from electron-rich olefins

Abstract
A general method of synthesis of transition metal carbene complexes involves displacement of CO, olefin, tertiary phosphine, or hal from a suitable metal precursor by a nucleophilic carbene fragment derived from an electron-rich olefin; the latter appear to be comparable in their transition metal reactivity to tertiary phosphines.
