The application of exo-type directing groups (DGs) has led to the discovery of a wide range
of novel C (sp3)–H activation methods, which allow efficient and site-selective …

This article reviews the chemical and antitumoral properties of thiosemicarbazone complex-
based drugs containing platinum (II) or palladium (II). Tetranuclear orthometallated …

The reaction of p-isopropylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone [p-is. TSCN], 1, with palladium
(II) acetate and potassium tetrachloroplatinate yielded two tetrameric orthopalladated …

The chemistry of binuclear palladium (II) and platinum (II) complexes has been reviewed.
This review deals with complexes derived from various classes of ligands and covers …

The five-membered “(C, N) Pd” metallacycle is a structural feature common to a number of
stable photoactive molecular materials. This review is centred on the connection among …

The cyclometalation reactions of benzylidenebenzylamines,-anilines, and-propylamine with
palladium acetate have been studied in toluene solution. The cyclometalated compounds …

The selective C–H carbonylation of methylene bonds in the presence of traditionally more
reactive methyl C–H and C (sp2)–H bonds in α-tertiary amines is reported. The exceptional …

The reaction of 3, 4-benzo-1, 1, 2, 2-tetraethyl-1, 2-disilacyclobutene (1) with benzene in the
presence of Ni (PEt3) 4 gave 1-(diethylphenylsilyl)-2-(diethylsilyl) benzene (4a) in high yield …
