title: Addition-elimination reactions across the M-C bond of metal N-heterocyclic carbenes.
abstract: Silyl, phosphinyl, stannyl, and boryl reagents can be added across the neutral metal-carbon dative bond in d(0) f-block metal N-heterocyclic carbene complexes in a reversible manner, allowing additional functional groups to be incorporated into redox-inactive organo-f-block compounds.
