The catalytic addition of water to alkynes (hydration) generates valuable carbonyl
compounds from unsaturated hydrocarbon precursors. Traditional mercury (II) catalysts …

Replacement of an aromatic ligand is a typical reaction of transition metal complexes and
understanding of its general features is crucial for their successful application. This review …

In the presence of KOBut, N-heterocyclic carbene-supported half-sandwich complex [Cp
(IPr) Ru (pyr) 2][PF6](3)(IPr= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) catalyzes …

The anti-Markovnikov hydration of terminal alkynes to give aldehydes is catalyzed by
complexes derived in situ from air-stable [CpRu (η6-naphthalene)] PF6 (C) and 6-aryl-2 …

The family of AZARYPHOS (aza–aryl–phosphane) phosphane ligands, containing a
phosphine unit and sterically shielded nitrogen lone pairs in the ligand periphery, is …

[CpRu (CH3CN) 3][PF6] and diimine ligands catalyze together the decomposition of α-
diazocarbonyl compounds leading to O− H insertion and condensation reactions. In …

An 'arene exchange'approach has been successfully applied for the first time to the
synthesis of Ru (II)-based 'tethered'reduction catalysts directly from their ligands in one step …

The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) group is a ligand of great importance for many transition-metal
complexes used in catalysis. Cationic CpRuII complexes with three free coordination sites …

The ruthenium complex [Cp (i Pr3P) Ru (NCCH3) 2]+(1) catalyzes the regioselective
hydrosilylation of pyridines to 1, 4-dihydropyridines. Substitution in the 3-and 5-positions is …

We report the use of the alkaline-earth (Ae) metal-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of silanes and
amines for the synthesis of ferrocene-containing polycarbosilazanes. The barium complex …
