Since the mid 2000's, the incorporation of Lewis acid moieties in ligands for transition metals
has been studied extensively. So-called ambiphilic ligands were shown to possess rich and …

The conversion of CO2 into multicarbon (C2+) compounds by reductive homocoupling offers
the possibility to transform renewable energy into chemical energy carriers and thereby …

Names: Stradiotto, Mark, author.| Lundgren, Rylan, author. Title: Ligand design in metal
chemistry: reactivity and catalysis/[edited by] Mark Stradiotto, Rylan Lundgren. Description …

The synthesis, characterisation and reactivity of two isostructural anionic magnesium and
calcium complexes is reported. By X‐ray and neutron diffraction techniques, the anionic …

Transition metals form a variety of alkylidyne complexes with either a d0 metal center (high-
valent) or a non-d0 metal center (low-valent). One of the most interesting properties of …

The synthesis of a three-coordinate Pt–borane complex featuring a bidentate “LZ”(boryl)
iminomethane (BIM) ligand is reported. Unlike other LZ-type borane ligands featuring a …

An exciting challenge in transition metal catalyst design is to explore whether earth-
abundant base metals such as Fe, Co, and Ni can mediate two-electron reductive …

The unexpectedly facile insertion of Rh or Ir into a B–Ph bond (reversible for Rh) converts a
borane/bis (phosphine) precursor into a boryl/bis (phosphine) PBP pincer ligand …

This feature article examines some of the recent advances in the chemistry of Z-type
transition metal–borane and X-type transition metal–boryl complexes. It focuses on the …

This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the
d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022 …
