Pincer complexes are useful tools for organic synthesis. Their high stability and easy
functionalization have allowed the development of novel catalytic systems that have had a …

N‐Alkylamines are key intermediates in the synthesis of fine chemicals, dyes, and natural
products, and hence are highly valuable building blocks in organic chemistry. Consequently …

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines represents an atom-efficient and
environmentally benign reduction methodology in organic chemistry. This has been …

Ruthenium PNP complex 1a (RuH (CO) Cl (HN (C2H4P i-Pr2) 2)) represents a state-of-the-
art catalyst for low-temperature (< 100° C) aqueous methanol dehydrogenation to H2 and …

Herein, we describe a selective cobalt‐catalyzed chemodivergent transfer hydrogenation of
nitriles to synthesize primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. The solvent effect plays a key …

Herein we report the synthesis of primary and secondary amines by nitrile hydrogenation,
employing a borrowing hydrogenation strategy. A class of phosphine-free manganese (I) …

Roles of the hydrogen atoms attached to the metal center of transition metal polyhydride
complexes, LnMHx (x≥ 3), are analyzed for about forty types of organic reactions catalyzed …

Novel heterogeneous cobalt-based catalysts have been prepared by pyrolysis of cobalt
complexes with nitrogen ligands on different inorganic supports. The activity and selectivity …

The preparation, structure, dynamic behavior in solution, and reactivity of polyhydride
complexes of platinum group metals, described during the last three decades, are …

A facile ruthenium (II)-catalyzed α-alkylation of arylmethyl nitriles using alcohols is reported.
The ruthenium pincer catalyst serves as an efficient catalyst for this atom-economical …
