N-heterocyclic carbenes and their applications for nanomaterials

This thesis reports on the synthesis of metallic Ni nanoparticles (NiNP) stabilised by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) carbene and trioctylphosphine (TOP). The synthetic procedure is based on the formation of a nickelacetylacetonate-oleylamine complex followed by the addition of the stabiliser. The N...
