First 2025 paper about metal-based anticancer agents!
Here you can find the synthesis of Gold and Palladium complexes bearing NHC thioglucosides that exhibit selective anticancer Activity.

Are you interested in Palladium(II) coordination of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with a triazole moiety?
Here a series of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) palladium complexes derived from N-methyl or N-mesityl-imidazolium salts bearing a triazole ring as pendant group to the second nitrogen atom, have been synthesized and characterized.

Are N-heterocyclic carbenes involved in your research activity?
Here you can find a revisitation of the weak base route mechanism concerning the synthesis of metal-NHC species. Moreover, aqueous NH3 is presented as a new and greener weak base.
