The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

Cobalt has become increasingly attractive in homogeneous catalysis because of its unique
characteristics and outstanding catalytic performance in addition to being cheap and earth …

Homogeneous catalysis of organic transformations by metal complexes has been mostly
based on complexes of noble metals. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made …

The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

Ionic liquids (ILs), defined as low-melting organic salts, are a novel class of compounds with
unique properties and a combinatorially great chemical diversity. ILs are utilized as …

Non‐noble metal catalysts based on pincer type compounds are of special interest for
organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis. Next to iron and manganese, currently …

Cobalt–N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have emerged as an attractive class of 3d
transition metal catalysts for a broad range of chemical processes, including cross-coupling …

High-oxidation-state 3d metal species have found a wide range of applications in modern
synthetic chemistry and materials science. They are also implicated as key reactive species …

The reactivity of a CoI–H2 complex was extended toward the semihydrogenation of internal
alkynes. Under ambient temperatures and moderate pressures of H2, a broad scope of …

Homogeneous catalysis with Earth-abundant, first-row transition metals, including iron and
cobalt, has gained considerable recent attention as a potentially cost-effective and …
