The easiest route to form compounds with P–C sp3–N linkage (s) is phosphorus-based
Mannich-type reactions (phospha-Mannich reactions) between phosphines (R3P, R2PH …

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

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 …

Nickel carbenes are attracting attention for the development of more sustainable catalysts,
among others, for cyclopropanation. Intramolecular trapping of a nickel carbene …

Metal–ligand cooperation can facilitate the activation of chemical bonds, opening reaction
pathways of interest for catalyst development. In this context, olefins occupying the central …

The ability of the imine PyCH═ N–CH2Py (Py= 2-pyridyl, bpi) to behave as a heteroditopic
ligand, which is suitable for creating two separate compartments to host metals in different …

While π‐complexes of C= C bonds are ubiquitous in organometallic chemistry, analogous
complexes of the isoelectronic but strongly polarized B= N double bond of aminoboranes …

Key mechanistic features of the cobalt-mediated and aminoquinoline-directed
dehydrogenative aryl–aryl coupling were investigated computationally and experimentally …

Activation of a Si–H bond is commonly a critical step in catalytic hydrosilylation reactions.
Herein, we investigate the cooperative reactivity of Ni (0) centers bearing a side-bound …

This chapter covers the literature published during 2018 relating to the synthesis and the
reactivity of tertiary phosphines excluding the chemistry of their metal complexes. Although it …
