A central issue in the design of reactions and catalysts based on metal complexes is the
hybridization of functional ligands with metal atoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that …

The design and development of economical and highly efficient electrocatalysts for the
hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline …

The chromophores of several classes of well-established dyes, eg, indigo, 9, 10-
anthraquinones, formazanes, diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs), or certain azo compounds, are …

The potential of redox-active ligands to behave “noninnocently” in transition-metal
coordination compounds is reflected with respect to various aspects and situations. These …

Controlled ligand‐based redox‐activity and chemical non‐innocence are rapidly gaining
importance for selective (catalytic) processes. This Concept aims to provide an overview of …

While β-diketiminate (BDI or 'nacnac') ligands have been widely adopted to stabilize a wide
range of metal ions in multiple oxidation states and coordination numbers, in several …

For the last few decades, coordination chemists have seen many ligands whose role
pervades far beyond being a supporting ancillary. The ambiguity in their electronic structure …

This essay for EurJIC's cluster issue on cooperative and redox non‐innocent ligands
introduces the reader to redox‐active ligands, which range from the small archetypical …

Spin‐crossover metal complexes represent a highly promising class of molecular switches,
the diverse physicochemical properties of which can be reversibly changed by different …
