Gold salts and complexes have emerged in the past few years as the most powerful
catalysts for electrophilic activation of alkynes toward a variety of nucleophiles under …

Synthetic chemists are constantly challenged to consider more environmentally benign
methods for generation of the desired target molecules. 1 Recently, there has been an …

The transition metal-catalysed direct functionalisation of C–H bonds is an increasingly viable
alternative to the multi-step strategies traditionally adopted. The use of powerful and …

The biological reduction of N2 to give NH3 may occur by one of two predominant pathways
in which nitrogenous N x H y intermediates, including hydrazine (N2H4), diazene (N2H2) …

At the beginning of the last century, organic chemists began to use transition metal catalysts
for forming carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Since then, the formation of …

Anti-Bredt di (amino) carbene supported gold (I) chloride complexes are readily prepared in
two steps from the corresponding isocyanide complexes. In the presence of KB (C6F5) 4 as …

Using two transition metals to simultaneously catalyze a reaction can offer distinct
opportunities for reactivity and selectivity when compared to using single-metal catalyst …

The advent of the clinically approved drug cisplatin started a new era in the design of
