Carbene radicals, in which the carbene is bonded to an open-shell metal with the carbene carbon possessing a radical character. Carbene radicals have features of both Fischer and Schrock carbenes, but are typically long-lived reaction intermediates. The "second generation" of the Grubbs catalysts for alkene metathesis features an NHC ligand.
Carbyne molecules are generally found to be in electronic doublet states: the non-bonding electrons on carbon are arranged as one radical (unpaired electron) and one electron pair, leaving a vacant atomic orbital, rather than being a triradical (the quartet state).

Addition of a carbene to an alkene to form a cyclopropane. One of the most synthetically important cheletropic reactions is the addition of a singlet carbene to an alkene to make a cyclopropane (see figure at left). [1] A carbene is a neutral molecule containing a divalent carbon with six electrons in its valence shell.
Examples include (CO) 5 W=COMePh and (OC) 5 Cr=C(NR 2)Ph. Orbital interaction in a Fisher carbene. The carbene electrons are donated to a sigma bond, and weak pi-backbonding occurs. Fisher carbene complexes are related to the singlet form of carbenes, where both electrons occupy the same sp 2 orbital at the carbon. This lone pair donates to a ...
The carbene compound may include a bioorthogonal tag or handle by which the protein of interest can be isolated. The protein can then be digested and sequenced by mass spectrometry in order to identify which residues the carbene containing ligand is bound to, and hence the identity of the binding site in the receptor.

Methylene (IUPAC name: Methylidene, also called carbene or methene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 2 (also written [CH 2] and not to be confused with compressed hydrogen, which is also denoted CH 2). It is a colourless gas that fluoresces in the mid-infrared range, and only persists in dilution, or as an adduct.
