Cyclometalation refers to the transition metal-mediated activation of a CR bond to form a
metallacycle comprising a new metal-carbon σ bond (Scheme 1). 1, 2 Typically, the reaction …

The syntheses of cycloruthenated compounds by several methods, and especially by the C–
H activation pathway, have been reviewed. Many ruthenium‐containing starting materials …

A new type of carbonylation of the ortho C− H bonds in aromatic amides 1, in which the
pyridin-2-ylmethylamino moiety functions as a bidentate directing group, can be achieved …

A general catalytic hydrogen transfer‐mediated α‐functionalization of 1, 8‐naphthyridines is
reported for the first time that benefits from a hydrogen transfer‐mediated activation mode for …

Metal metal singly‐bonded diruthenium complexes, bridged by naphthyridine‐
functionalized N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands featuring a hydroxy appendage on the …

Dipalladium (I) and diruthenium (I) compounds bridged by two [{(5, 7‐dimethyl‐1, 8‐
naphthyridin‐2‐yl) amino} carbonyl] ferrocene (L) ligands have been synthesized. The X‐ray …

The catalytic utility of [RuL1 (CO) 2I2](1), containing an annelated π-conjugated imidazo-
naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligand (L1), is evaluated for E-selective …

The 1, 8-naphthyridine− functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene 1-benzyl-3-(5, 7-dimethyl-1,
8-naphthyrid-2-yl) imidazol-2-ylidene (BIN) has been successfully coordinated to Pd (II), W …

Pd-or Ni-catalyzed C–H arylation of 4-nitroimidazole derivatives directed by a manipulable
nitro group was developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of substituted aryl halides …

Cyclometalation reactions proceed very easily with one step reaction between metal
compounds and substrates having a heteroatom such as O, S, N, P and As. However, under …
