The present review highlights the role of N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) ligands, the silicon analogues of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), utilized in various catalytic organic transformations. The application of such novel ligands coordinated by different metal sites offers massive opportunities in...
