N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

The increasing awareness of sustainability has led to enormous growth of the demand for
bio‐based and biodegradable polymers such as poly (lactide)(PLA). In industry …

New zinc guanidine complexes with N, O donor functionalities were prepared, characterized
by X‐Ray crystallography, and examined for their catalytic activity in the solvent‐free ring …

Guanidines, which exist widely in nature, have been frequently utilised as strong Brønsted
bases in organic chemistry. As ligands, guanidines can have different coordination modes …

Copper guanidine quinolinyl complexes act as good entatic state models due to their
distorted structures leading to a high similarity between Cu (I) and Cu (II) complexes. For a …

Copolymers are the answer to property limitations of homopolymers. In order to use the full
variety of monomers available, catalysts active in more than one polymerization mechanism …

Non-toxic, highly active and robust complexes are the holy grail as ideal green catalysts for
the polymerisation of biorenewable and biodegradable polylactide. Four new zinc guanidine …

More and more attention has been paid to the important roles of external fields in controlled
radical polymerization (CRP). However, their essential roles have not been studied …

Redox-active guanidines are ideal proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) reagents, since
they combine a high Brønsted basicity with a low and tunable redox potential. In this article …

The electron‐transfer abilities of the copper guanidinoquinoline (GUAqu) complexes [Cu
(TMGqu) 2]+/2+ and [Cu (DMEGqu) 2]+/2+(TMGqu= tetramethylguanidinoquinoline …
