DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe use of N-heterocyclic carbenes to modify homog
 eneous metal catalysts is widespread since the high metal–NHC bond strengt
 h renders high oxidative and chemical stability to the resulting metal com
 plexes. The use of NHCs to modify metal surfaces has received considerably
  less attention. We will describe the modification of planar metallic surf
 aces with NHCs. The nature of the surface overlayer is strongly dependent 
 on the nature of the NHC. Similarly\, NHCs are useful new ligands for the 
 stabilization of metal clusters\, with again the structure of the cluster 
 being strongly influenced by the nature of the NHC.\n\n \n\n \n\nBio:\n\nD
 r. Cathleen Crudden is the A.V. Douglas Distinguished Professor of Chemist
 ry and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in metal organic chemistry at Queen’
 s University in Kingston\, Ontario. She holds a Research Professorship at 
 the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) in Nagoya\, Japan\, w
 here she runs a satellite laboratory. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society
  of Canada\, the Chemical Institute of Canada\, the Royal Society of Chemi
 stry (UK) and an elected member of the American Association for the Advanc
 ement of Science.\n\n \n\nDr. Crudden has made significant impact on diver
 se areas of science. She described one of the first cross-coupling reactio
 ns with chiral\, enantiopure molecules that has made considerable impact o
 n the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds. More recently\, she has dem
 onstrated the strength and versatility of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands i
 n materials science\, showing these ligands to be viable and versatile alt
 ernatives to thiolates as ligands for planar metal surfaces\, nanoparticle
 s and nanoclusters. This work has been called 'game changing'\, 'elegant' 
 and 'the new gold standard' by experts in the field.\n\n \n\nCrudden has s
 erved as President of the Canadian Society for Chemistry and Chair of the 
 Chemical Institute of Canada. She is Scientific Director of the Carbon to 
 Metals Coatings Institute (C2MCI) at Queen's University. She is currently 
 Editor-in-Chief for ACS Catalysis. She has won numerous awards including t
 he 2023 John Polanyi Award\, a 2019 Cope Scholar award of the American Che
 mical Society\, the Montreal Medal (2019)\, and the 2018 Carol Taylor awar
 d from the International Precious Metals Institute.\n
