1. A carbene-functionalized composite, comprising:
1,3-dihydro-1,3-bisisopropyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene carbene coating on a metal surface, wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, cobalt, steel, and any combination thereof, and
wherein the 1,3-dihydro-1,3-bisisopropyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene carbene interacts with the metal surface to form a densely packed carbene monolayer coating that exhibits long-range ordering and is thermally stable at 100° C. for at least 24 hours, and
wherein the metal surface is selected from the group consisting of bulk metal, solid metal, atomically ordered metal surface, metal film, metal sheet, and metal layer, and is not a nanoparticle.
