Enzymes containing molybdenum or tungsten at their active sites appear to be present in all
forms of life, from ancient archaea to man. These enzymes catalyze a wide range of …

The fundamental chemistry of which transition element has been most rapidly and
extensively advanced in the last decade? Such a question can provoke a number of …

Reductive amination is an important tool for synthetic organic chemists in the construction of
carbon‐nitrogen bonds. This reaction, also termed reductive alkylation, involves …

Tripodal dianionic diamino-or amino-alkoxy-bis (phenolate) ligands {ONXOR1, R2}(X= NR2,
OR) constitute a privileged class of ligands which has found much interest in combination …

Novel amine bis (phenolate) zirconium dibenzyl complexes were synthesized in quantitative
yields from a versatile family of chelating amine− bis ((2-hydroxyaryl) methyl) ligand …

Methods for creation of chiral-at-metal architectures, principally at octahedral metal centres
using tetradentate ligands are reviewed. Where achiral ligands are employed, one chiral …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a discussion on the bioinorganic chemistry of
pterin-containing molybdenum and tungsten enzymes. The chapter focuses on the current …

Several [ONXO]-type zirconium and hafnium dibenzyl complexes of amine bis (phenolate)
ligands, where X is a heteroatom donor located on a pendant arm, were synthesized directly …

In contrast to the extensive literature on transition metal complexes with the tetradentate
Schiff base ligand salen2 and, in particular, on the dioxygen affinity of Co (salen) and its …

Salen type complexes, CuL, the corresponding tetrahydrosalen type complexes, Cu [H4] L,
and N, N′-dimethylated tetrahydrosalen type complexes, Cu [H2Me2] L, were investigated …
