“Stability and Degradation of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Monolayers on Gold Electrodes”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116819

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) monolayers on gold electrodes show stability over a wide voltage range, but degrade at extremely reducing or oxidizing potentials and can have reduced operational lifetimes with modified backbone structures.
