In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of C–H activation methods
promoted by NHC–transition metal complexes, covering the literature since 2002 (the year …

Alkene functionalisation is a powerful strategy that has enabled access to a wide array of
compounds including valuable pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The reactivity of the …

Environmental profiles for the selected metals were compiled on the basis of available data
on their biological activities. Analysis of the profiles suggests that the concept of toxic heavy …

Over the course of the past 15 years the success story of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)
compounds in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry has been extended to …

The activation of ubiquitous C–H bonds has great significance in the field of organic
synthesis given that it represents an ideal method for directly producing valuable chemicals …

Asymmetric metal based catalysis has advanced quickly in recent years, with its efficiency
relying exclusively on chiral ligands. Rational design and meticulous selection of chiral …

The chemistry of nickel N-heterocyclic carbene species has blossomed at the beginning of
this century with a particularly rapid acceleration in the last 5 years, as indicated by the fact …

Use of a directing group in C–H functionalizations, often referred to as chelation assistance,
is one of the most reliable methods for achieving highly efficient and highly site-selective …

The reactions of nickel (0) complexes with organohalides have been reviewed. The review
is divided according to the class of ligand that is present on nickel: phosphine, N …

Organometallic catalysts have played a key role in accomplishing numerous synthetically
valuable organic transformations that are either otherwise not possible or inefficient. The use …
