31. Recently, stable isoelectronic analogs of such complexes, viz., diazoalkane-nickel (O) complexes containing olefins, have been isolated, but on decomposition do not afford cyclopropanation products: S. Otsuka, A. Nakamura, T. Koyama, and Y. Tatsuno, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1105 (1972). (b) A variety of stable carbene complexes of metals are known, sup but none of copper.

40. Formally, no change in oxidation state is required to proceed from carbene RCH to RCH. X. The latter, however, may be formed by two successive free-radical reactions (H atom and ligand transfer) in which case the copper species may suffer reduction: J. K.
