A central issue in the design of reactions and catalysts based on metal complexes is the
hybridization of functional ligands with metal atoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that …

The pincer platform provides increased stability and often a rigid coordination mode in
transition metal complexes that allows for the incorporation of reactive functional groups in …

Controlled ligand‐based redox‐activity and chemical non‐innocence are rapidly gaining
importance for selective (catalytic) processes. This Concept aims to provide an overview of …

Mechanistic studies of the catalyst [Pd2 (dba) 3/1, 1′-bis (tert-butyl (pyridin-2-yl)
phosphanyl) ferrocene, L2] for olefin alkoxycarbonylation reactions are described. X-ray …

Catalytic olefin hydrogenation is ubiquitous in organic synthesis. In most proposed
homogeneous catalytic cycles, reactive M–H bonds are generated either by oxidative …

The exploration for noble metals substitutes in catalysis has become a highly active area of
research, driven by the pursuit of sustainable chemical processes. Although the utilization of …

Hemilabile ligands that undergo reversible changes in denticity have long been exploited to
enable catalyst activation and to increase lifetime. However, this common description does …

Adaptive ligands, which can adapt their coordination mode to the electronic structure of
various catalytic intermediates, offer the potential to develop improved homogeneous …

Unlike traditional catalysis, where ligands only pass stereoelectronic information to the metal
center, ligand–metal cooperative catalysis deals with noninnocent ligands that take an …

This paper describes a cooperative iron–thiolate catalyst Cp* Fe (1, 2-Ph2PC6H4S)(NCMe)(
Cp*–= C5Me5–,[1 (NCMe)]) for regioselective hydroboration of aryl epoxide by …
