It is well-recognized that N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have provided a new
dimension to the design of homogeneous catalysts. Part of the success of this type of ligands …

Supramolecular catalysis is a rapidly expanding discipline which has benefited from the
development of both homogeneous catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. The properties …

Complexes bearing protic N-heterocyclic carbenes (protic NHCs, pNHCs), defined as cyclic
carbenes stabilized by two heteroatoms including at least one NH group, have been less …

Half-sandwich Cp* Ir and Cp* Rh metalacycles have been successfully applied in traditional
domains encompassing organic transformations and catalysis in recent years, especially the …

Metal–ligand bifunctional cooperation has attracted much attention because it offers a
powerful methodology to realize a number of highly efficient and selective catalysts. In this …

A ruthenium (II) complex bearing a naphthyridine-functionalized pyrazole ligand catalyzes
oxidant-free and acceptorless selective double dehydrogenation of primary amines to …

The utility of carbazole in photo-, electro-, and medicinal applications has ensured its
widespread use also as the backbone in tridentate pincer ligands. In this review, the aim is …

N–N bond cleavage of hydrazines on transition metals is of considerable importance in
understanding the mechanism of biological nitrogen fixation under ambient conditions. We …

The review describes methods for the preparation of complexes bearing protic NHC ligands,
ie NHCs featuring an NH, NH or NH, NR substitution pattern. The protic NHC ligands are …

Ligand cooperation has become an important strategy in the development of new transition
metal based transformations. By using this approach some remarkable new catalytic …
