Abstract 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) has recently become a very popular
solvent or additive with applications across the spectrum of chemistry. Analysis shows that it …

Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

Understanding the energy it takes to build or break chemical bonds is essential for scientists
and engineers in a wide range of innovative fields, including catalysis, nanomaterials …

The dihydrogen bond an interaction between a transition-metal or main-group hydride (M
H) and a protic hydrogen moiety (H X) is arguably the most intriguing type of hydrogen …

The ion-pair concept1-4 was introduced in 1926 by Bjerrum5 to account for the behavior of
ionophores (species, such as alkali halides, that are ionic in the crystalline state and exist as …

An efficient palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a variety of unprotected
indoles has been developed that gives up to 98% ee using a strong Brønsted acid as the …

This Account presents our view of unconventional intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) for
organometallic complexes and transition-metal or main-group hydrides. Over the past …

The discovery by Kubas et al. 1 of the coordination of an intact dihydrogen molecule to
transition metals to form a dihydrogen s-complex 1 was one of the most exciting and …

The chemical mechanism of nitrogenase, catalysing N2+ 8 e+ 8 H+→ 2 NH3+ H2, occurs at
a large multi‐metal cluster (FeMo‐co) with composition CFe7MoS9 (homocitrate). More than …

The protonation of a transition-metal hydride is a formally simple process between a proton
donor and a proton acceptor with several potential basic centres. The detailed mechanism is …
