On-purpose synthetic routes for propylene production have emerged in the last couple of
decades in response to the increasing demand for plastics and a shift to shale gas …

Long-chain alkanes are abundant feedstocks supplied by natural resources and chemical
industry. Specially, normal long-chain alkanes are primary products from Fischer—Tropsch …

The definition of the van der Waals crust as the spherical section between the atomic radius
and the van der Waals radius of an element is discussed and a survey of the application of …

Catalytic C− N bond formation by direct activation of C− H bonds offers wide synthetic
potential. En route to C− H amination, complexes with organic azides are critical precursors …

Characterization of reactive intermediates in C–H functionalization is challenging due to the
fleeting lifetimes of these species. Synthetic photochemistry provides a strategy to generate …

Well-defined organometallics supported on high surface area oxides are promising
heterogeneous catalysts. An important design factor in these materials is how the metal …

In 2007 two of us defined the σ‐Complex Assisted Metathesis mechanism (Perutz and Sabo‐
Etienne, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 2578–2592), that is, the σ‐CAM concept. This new …

X-ray crystallography is an invaluable tool in design and development of organometallic
catalysis, but application typically requires species to display sufficiently high solution …

Using single‐crystal to single‐crystal solid/gas reactivity the gold (I) acetylene complex [Au
(L1)(η2‐HC≡ CH)][BArF4] is cleanly synthesized by addition of acetylene gas to single …

The group 7 complexes [M (κ3-2, 6-(R2PO) 2C5H3N)(CO) 2L][BArF4][M= Mn, R= iPr, L=
