| Summary: | The aim of this tutorial review is to highlight the potential application of
N
-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) in heterogeneous catalysis. The unique combination of the high reactivity of NHCs together with the ease of separation, purification and recyclability of the solid catalyst makes the heterogeneous system one of the most promising strategies for the synthesis of fine chemicals on an industrial scale. This tutorial review focuses on the most representative examples of this nascent research area and highlights recent achievements of NHCs in heterogeneous catalysis (other than metathesis reactions). We hope this serves as inspiration for further progress in this field.

| Bibliography: | Kiran K. Atyam was born in Vishakapatnum, India in 1985. He received his MSc degree in Analytical chemistry from Andhra University, Vishakapatnum in 2007 and his MTech degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a specialization in Ceramics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India in 2010. His research interests include the development of functional materials in both electro catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. Satoaki Onitsuka was born in Miyazaki, Japan, in 1973. He received his PhD in 2001 from Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan under the supervision of Prof. Hiroshi Nishino. He then joined Prof. Hiroshi Nishino's group for his first postdoctoral position at Kyushu University and Kumamoto University, after which he moved to Kyushu University to join the research group led by Prof. Tsutomu Katsuki as a postdoctoral Fellow (JST, CREST). Later, he became an Assistant Prof. at Kyushu University in Prof. Junji Inanaga's research group. His research interests include the development of functional materials in both catalysis and sensing. Kalluri V. S. Ranganath obtained his PhD from IICT, Hyderabad, India under the supervision of Dr B. M. Choudary. He later joined the laboratory of Prof. Junji Inanaga at Kyushu University in Japan as a postdoctoral fellow (JSPS). Thereafter, he moved to the University of Münster as an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow in the group of Prof. Frank Glorius. Later, he joined RGUKT, India as an Assistant Professor. He held a Visiting Professorship at Kyushu University in 2012. Currently, he is working as an Assistant Professor at Guru Ghasidas University, Bilaspur. His research interests are heterogeneous catalysis, nanoparticles and chiral modifiers. Junji Inanaga received his PhD from Kyushu University and was appointed Assistant Professor. After two postdoctoral years at Indiana University, he moved to the Institute for Molecular Science as Associate Professor. In 2000, he was promoted to Professor at Kyushu University. He held Visiting Professorships at Universite Paris-Sud, at Kyoto University, and at Hobei University. He received the Lectureship Award for Young Chemists (Chemical Society of Japan, 1987), the Progress Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (1988), and the Shiokawa Award (the Rare Earth Society of Japan, 1999). His current research interests include new synthetic methods using lanthanides, chiral recognition, and green asymmetric catalysis.
