Abstract
The group 10 transition metal atoms Pd and Pt react with nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) forming N-coordination M(NF3) complexes in solid neon and argon matrices. The M(NF3) complexes isomerize to more stable fluoronitrenoid FNMF2 isomers via fluorine migration upon blue LED (λ = 470 nm) light irradiation. These products are characterized on the basis of infrared absorption spectroscopy with isotopic substitutions and theoretical frequency calculations. The analysis of the electronic structure of nitrogen trifluoride complexes indicates that the bonding between metal and nitrogen trifluoride can be described as σ donation from the HOMO of nitrogen trifluoride to the empty metal dz2 orbital and π back-donation from the metal dxz/yz orbitals to the LUMO of nitrogen trifluoride, the latter of which stabilized the metal ligand bond and destabilized the ligand N-F bond. In FNMF2, the FN ligand doubly bonded to the metal and bear imido character.

Abstract
Whereas triplet-nitrene complexes of the late transition metals are isolable and key intermediates in catalysis, singlet-nitrene ligands remain elusive. Herein we communicate three such palladium terminal imido complexes with singlet ground states. UV-vis-NIR electronic spectroscopy with broad bands up to 1400 nm as well as high-level computations (DFT, STEOM-CCSD, CASSCF/NEVPT2, EOS analysis) and reactivity studies suggest significant palladium(0) singlet-nitrene character. Although the aliphatic nitrene complexes proved to be too reactive for isolation in analytically pure form as a result of elimination of isobutylene, the aryl congener could be characterized by SC-XRD, elemental analysis, IR-, NMR spectroscopy, and HRMS. The complexes' distinguished ambiphilicity allows them to activate hexafluorobenzene, triphenylphosphine, and pinacol borane, catalytically dehydrogenate cyclohexene, and aminate ethylene via nitrene transfer at or below room temperature.

Abstract
We report on the convenient synthesis of a CNC pincer ligand composed of carbazole and two mesoionic carbenes, as well as the corresponding lithium- and magnesium complexes. Mono-deprotonation affords a rare "naked" amide anion. In contrast to the proligand and its mono-deprotonated form, tri-deprotonated s-block complexes show bright luminescence, and their photophysical properties were therefore investigated by absorption- and luminescence spectroscopy. They reveal a quantum yield of 16% in solution at ambient temperature. Detailed quantum-chemical calculations assist in rationalizing the emissive properties based on an Intra-Ligand-Charge-Transfer (ILCT) between the carbazolido- and mesoionic carbene ligands. (Earth-)alkali metals prevent the distortion of the ligand following excitation and, thus, by avoiding non-radiative deactivation support bright luminescence.

Abstract
The synthesis of chelating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes with considerable π-acceptor properties can be a challenging task. This is due to the dimerization of free carbene ligands, the moisture sensitivity of reaction intermediates or reagents, and challenges associated with the workup procedure. Herein, we report a general route using transmetalation from magnesium–NHCs. Notably, this route gives access to transition-metal complexes in quantitative conversion without the formation of byproducts. It therefore produces transition-metal complexes outperforming the conventional routes based on free or lithium-coordinated carbene, silver complexes, or in situ metalation in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). We therefore propose transmetalation from magnesium–NHCs as a convenient and general route to obtain NHC complexes.

Abstract
We recently reported the first example of a palladium(ii) terminal imido complex. We proposed that this complex features exceptional high nucleophilicity at the nitrogen atom and a peculiar zwitterionic electronic structure with an anti-bonding highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). This complex swiftly activated moderately acidic CH, OH, and NH bonds and also reacted with dihydrogen. However, unambiguous nucleophilic reactivity with substrates not featuring a hydrogen atom could not be observed. Herein, we now show that this nucleophilic complex also reacts with CO2 to give a ring-strained four-membered palladium(ii) carbamate complex. Remarkably, the same product is obtained in the reaction of the related bisamido complex, albeit at a slower reaction rate. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the addition of CO2 does not proceed via initial 1,2-addition across the Pd–N bond, but instead through nucleophilic attack by the imido (amido respectively) nitrogen atom.

Abstract
Herein, we report the isolation and a reactivity study of the first example of an elusive palladium(II) terminal imido complex. This scaffold is an alleged key intermediate for various catalytic processes, including the amination of C-H bonds. We demonstrate facile nitrene transfer with H-H, C-H, N-H, and O-H bonds and elucidate its role in catalysis. The high reactivity is due to the population of the antibonding highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which results in unique charge separation within the closed-shell imido functionality. Hence, N atom transfer is not necessarily associated with the high valency of the metal (PdIII , PdIV ) or the open-shell character of a nitrene as commonly inferred.
