This review reports the reactivity of carbenes (>C : ), both N ‐heterocyclic and simpler ones, with 29 small molecules to form C–X bonds and some weak interactions. The structures thus obtained belong to many functional groups proving the characteristic reactivity of N ‐heterocyclic carbenes. Particular attention has been paid to X‐ray structures that are useful for theoretical calculations.
