Metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) has become an important concept in catalysis by transition
metal complexes both in synthetic and biological systems. MLC implies that both the metal …

Hydrogenase enzymes efficiently process H2 and protons at organometallic FeFe, NiFe, or
Fe active sites. Synthetic modeling of the many H2ase states has provided insight into …

Iron is the most abundant transition metal in Earth, s crust; it is relatively inexpensive, not
very toxic, and environmentally benign. 1 Undoubtedly, due to the involvement in a multitude …

Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

The catalytic hydrogenation of prochiral ketones with second and third-row transition metal
complexes bearing chelating chiral ligands containing at least one N–H functionality has …

Dihydrogen complexation with retention of the H–H bond, once an exotic concept, has by
now appeared in a very wide range of contexts. Three structural types are currently …

The mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of acetophenone by the chiral complex trans-
[RuCl2 {(S)-binap}{(S, S)-dpen}] and KO-t-C4H9 in propan-2-ol is revised on the basis of …

Although compounds that feature 3-centre 2-electron (3c–2e) bonds are well known, there
has been no previous effort to classify the interactions according to the number of electrons …

Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area--
one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological …

Hydrogen generation from formic acid (FA), one of the most promising hydrogen storage
materials, has attracted much attention due to the demand for the development of renewable …
