The halogen-atom transfer (XAT) is one of the most important and applied processes for the
generation of carbon radicals in synthetic chemistry. In this review, we summarize and …

Synthetic organic electrosynthesis has grown in the past few decades by achieving many
valuable transformations for synthetic chemists. Although electrocatalysis has been popular …

Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or
photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both …

Transition-metal complexes are attractive targets for the design of catalysts and functional
materials. The behavior of the metal–organic bond, while very tunable for achieving target …

As the breadth of radical chemistry grows, new means to promote and regulate single-
electron redox activities play increasingly important roles in driving modern synthetic …

While the oxidative addition of Ni (I) to aryl iodides has been commonly proposed in catalytic
methods, an in-depth mechanistic understanding of this fundamental process is still lacking …

Electrochemical methods offer unique advantages for chemical synthesis, as the reaction
selectivity may be controlled by tuning the applied potential or current. Similarly, measuring …

Electrosynthesis is a popular, green alternative to traditional organic methods.
Understanding the mechanisms is not trivial yet is necessary to optimize reaction processes …

The recent success of nickel catalysts in stereoconvergent cross-coupling and cross-
electrophile coupling reactions partly stems from the ability of monovalent nickel species to …

Conspectus At the heart of synthetic chemistry is the holy grail of predictable catalyst design.
In particular, researchers involved in reaction development in asymmetric catalysis have …
