Our group and others have been interested in utilizing singlet carbenes to stabilize reactive main group intermediates. During the course of these studies, we have found that π-acidic carbenes are well-suited ligands for preparing stable main group element-centered radicals. More recently, we have devoted our efforts toward preparing luminescent radicals decorated with carbene-derived moities. This presentation will detail these ongoing efforts.
