Metal ions play significant roles in numerous fields including chemistry, geochemistry,
biochemistry, and materials science. With computational tools increasingly becoming …

Although chemically binding interatomic interactions are the basis for chemistry as a whole,
the understanding of the nature of the chemical bond is much less advanced than the …

Formation of stable iron hydrides on more nucleophilic (electron-rich) metal centers than
those found in hydrogenases with CO ligands would inhibit or at least slow down function …

There is a marvelous analogy between the metal–olefin π bonding model first brought to
light by Dewar 50 years ago and that of σ-bond coordination discovered by us 17 years ago …

Hydrosilanes are used as versatile coreactants in the generation of silyl-metal complexes.
Since organohydrosilanes may contain one, two, or three SiH bonds as tertiary, secondary …

Dihydrogen complexation with retention of the H–H bond, once an exotic concept, has by
now appeared in a very wide range of contexts. Three structural types are currently …

Complexes in which a σ‐H E bond (E= H, B, Si, C) acts as a two‐electron donor to the
metal center are called σ complexes. Clues that it is possible to interconvert σ ligands …

The dihydrogen bond an interaction between a transition-metal or main-group hydride (M
H) and a protic hydrogen moiety (H X) is arguably the most intriguing type of hydrogen …

Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone with trans-RuH (η1-BH4)[(S)-tolbinap][(S, S)-
dpen](TolBINAP= 2, 2 '-bis (di-4-tolylphosphino)-1, 1 '-binaphthyl; DPEN= 1, 2 …

A continuous symmetry study of the structures of transition metal six-vertex polyhedra is
presented, considering both molecular models and experimental structural data. The …
