Efficient in situ deposition of metallic cocatalyst, like zero‐valent platinum (Pt), on organic
photovoltaic catalysts (OPCs) is the prerequisite for their high catalytic activities. Here we …

We report a nickel (0)-catalyzed direct transfer hydrogenation (TH) of a variety of alkyl–aryl,
diaryl, and aliphatic ketones with ethanol. This protocol implies a reaction in which a primary …

Adaptive ligands, which can adapt their coordination mode to the electronic structure of
various catalytic intermediates, offer the potential to develop improved homogeneous …

Nickelacyclobutanes are mostly invoked as reactive intermediates in the reaction of nickel
carbenes and olefins to yield cyclopropanes. Nevertheless, early work suggested that other …

Metal–ligand cooperativity in homogeneous catalysis is emerging as a powerful tool for the
design of efficient transition-metal catalysts. This perspective highlights recent advances in …

The reactivity of the reduced Zr/Co and Ti/Co complexes (THF) Zr (MesNP i Pr2) 3CoN2 (1,
Mes= 2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl) and (THF) Ti (XylNP i Pr2) 3CoN2 (7, Xyl= 3, 5 …

The three-coordinate Ni (0) N-heterocyclic carbene complex Ni (6-Mes)(PPh3) 2 (1; 6-Mes=
1, 3-bis (2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl)-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene) is formed in the …

We report the first example of a cobalt PCcarbeneP pincer complex (1) featuring a central
alkylidene carbon donor accessed through the dehydration of an alcoholic POP proligand …

Acceptor ligands, which predominantly withdraw electron density from a transition metal
center, often engage in weak metal-ligand interactions. These can be stabilized by flanking …

Rhodium PCcarbeneP pincer complexes 1-L (L= PPh3, PPh2 (C6F5), PCy3) readily
facilitate deoxygenation of amine and pyridine N-oxides. The resulting complexes exhibit η2 …
