Geminal dianionic complexes and their corresponding carbenoids for small molecule activation

The thesis describes the synthesis of metal carbenoids and their application towards small molecule activation and the catalytic reduction of CO2 with borane. Chapter 1 describes the synthesis of a novel unsymmetric phosphonium-stabilized methane ligand, the monoanionic and dianionic lithium and ma...
