Catalytic reactions that enable the formation of new bonds to carbon centres play a
pervasive role in the state-of-the-art synthesis of organic molecules and macromolecules. In …

This review summarizes selected mechanistic insight garnered from reactions that form
bonds between main group elements with liberation of hydrogen, dehydrocoupling or …

A review of σ-bond metathesis is presented using Watson's 1983 observation of
degenerative methyl ligand exchange at metallocene compounds as a starting point. This …

Organophosphines have garnered attention from many avenues ranging from agriculture to
fine chemicals. One‐time use of phosphate resources has made sustainable use of …

The abilities of transition metal species to activate P–H and P–P bonds are emerging. Such
investigations provide novel M–P species, as well as stoichiometric and catalytic routes to P …

An examination of several catalytic reactions among the group 15 elements is presented.
The connections between the chemistry of the pnictogens can sometimes be challenging …

Catalytic hydrophosphination of terminal alkenes and dienes with primary phosphines
(RPH2; R= Cy, Ph) under mild conditions has been demonstrated using a zirconium …

Catalytic dehydrocoupling of primary and secondary phosphines has been achieved for the
first time using an iron pre‐catalyst. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions …

Metal complexes bearing terminal phosphido or phosphinidene ligands have become
versatile tools in the stoichiometric and catalytic preparation of phosphorus–element bonds …

The controlled release of well‐defined radical species under mild conditions for subsequent
use in selective reactions is an important and challenging task in synthetic chemistry. We …
