Disproportionation and comproportionation reactions have become increasingly important
electron transfer events in organometallic chemistry and catalysis. The renewed interest in …

The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

Transition metals can assemble to form multinuclear complexes by engaging in direct metal-
to-metal interactions. Metal–metal covalent bonds provide a large perturbation in electronic …

The field of multimetallic catalysis is rapidly developing and some multimetallic complexes
catalyze organic transformations to yield the desired products in more efficient ways owing …

Transition metal-catalysed carbene-and nitrene transfer to the C1-building blocks carbon
monoxide and isocyanides provides heteroallenes (ie ketenes, isocyanates, ketenimines …

Nickel plays an important role in areas as diverse as metallurgy, magnetism and biology as
well as in chemical applications such as the catalytic transformation of organic substrates …

The dialkyl-ortho-biaryl class of phosphines, commonly known as Buchwald-type ligands,
are among the most important phosphines in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling. These ligands …

Nickel's+ 1 oxidation state has received much interest due to its varied and often enigmatic
behavior in increasingly popular catalytic methods. In part, the lack of understanding about …

Cluster complexes have attracted interest for decades due to their promise of drawing
analogies to metallic surfaces and metalloenzyme active sites, but only recently have …

Enzymes are the core for biological transformations in nature. Their structures and functions
have drawn enormous attention from biologists as well as chemists since last century. The …
