Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in
modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The …

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 …

Transition metals can assemble to form multinuclear complexes by engaging in direct metal-
to-metal interactions. Metal–metal covalent bonds provide a large perturbation in electronic …

A unique cooperative H2 activation reaction by heterobimetallic (NHC) M′-MCp (CO) 2
complexes (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene, M′= Cu or Ag, M= Fe or Ru) has been …

The rational development of catalytic reactions involving cooperative behavior between two
catalytic reactive sites represents a frontier area of research from which novel reactivity and …

A method for the arylboration of 1-arylalkenes with bis (pinacolato) diboron and aryl
chlorides or tosylates by cooperative Ni/Cu catalysis has been developed, which affords 2 …

Complexes with Al–M bonds (M= transition metal) have emerged as platforms for
discovering new reaction chemistry either through cooperative bond activation behaviour of …

A joint experimental/computational effort to elucidate the mechanism of dihydrogen
activation by a gold (I)/platinum (0) metal‐only frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) is described …

Although dirhodium-catalyzed multicomponent reactions of diazo compounds, nucleophiles
and electrophiles have achieved great advance in organic synthesis, the introduction of …

The principle of frustrated Lewis acid/base pairs has reached gold chemistry. Based on
sterical repulsion at the gold center, an otherwise typical coordination can be prevented …
