BACKGROUND Since the work of Sabatier 100 year ago, chemists have turned almost
exclusively to metals to activate H2 by weakening or cleaving its central bond. This …

The current status of homogeneous iron catalysis in organic chemistry is contemplated, as
are the reasons why this particular research area only recently starts challenging the …

This review covers diastereo-and enantiodivergent catalyzed reactions in acyclic and cyclic
systems using metal complexes or organocatalysts. Among them, nucleophilic addition to …

Electrocatalytic alkyne semi-hydrogenation to alkenes with water as the hydrogen source
using a low-cost noble-metal-free catalyst is highly desirable but challenging because of …

Hydride complexes of copper, silver, and gold encompass a broad array of structures, and
their distinctive reactivity has enabled dramatic recent advances in synthesis and catalysis …

Bimetallic catalysis represents an alternative paradigm for coupling chemistry that
complements the more traditional single-site catalysis approach. In this perspective, recent …

Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed stereodivergent transfer hydrogenation of
alkynes to Z-and E-alkenes. Effective selectivity control is achieved based on a rational …

Metal–ligand cooperativity (MLC) is an established strategy for developing effective
hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysts. Metal–metal cooperativity (MMC) in …

Non‐noble metal catalysts based on pincer type compounds are of special interest for
organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis. Next to iron and manganese, currently …

There is growing interest in the design of bimetallic cooperative complexes, which have
emerged due to their potential for bond activation and catalysis, a feature widely exploited …
