Schematic view of different electronic descriptors for metal carbenes (X/Y = neutral substituent) (top). Molecular orbital bonding scheme depicting the differences between Fischer-type and Schrock-type transition metal carbenes and the more recently established carbene radical (i.e., one-electron reduced Fischer-type carbene) (bottom).
