Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

Dihydrogen complexation with retention of the H–H bond, once an exotic concept, has by
now appeared in a very wide range of contexts. Three structural types are currently …

There is a marvelous analogy between the metal–olefin π bonding model first brought to
light by Dewar 50 years ago and that of σ-bond coordination discovered by us 17 years ago …

The dihydrogen bond an interaction between a transition-metal or main-group hydride (M
H) and a protic hydrogen moiety (H X) is arguably the most intriguing type of hydrogen …

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the methane-forming step in methanogenic
archaea. The active enzyme harbors the nickel (I) hydrocorphin coenzyme F-430 as a …

This review focuses on electron and proton transfers involving hexacarbonyl and substituted
{2Fe2S} complexes inspired from the active site of the [FeFe]-hydrogenases ([FeFe] …

This Account presents our view of unconventional intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) for
organometallic complexes and transition-metal or main-group hydrides. Over the past …

A simple equation (p K aTHF=∑ AL+ C charge+ C nd+ C d6) can be used to obtain an
estimate of the p K a of diamagnetic transition metal hydride and dihydrogen complexes in …

Protonation reactions involving organometallic complexes are ubiquitous in redox chemistry
and often result in the generation of reactive metal hydrides. However, some organometallic …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based ruthenium complexes were studied as catalysts for the
transfer hydrogenation of ketones. Variations in the catalyst structure were investigated for …
