Secondary phosphine oxides present tautomeric equilibrium between the pentavalent oxide
form (SPO) and the trivalent phosphinous acid (PA). This dichotomy is the origin of the rich …

Organometallic catalysts have played a key role in accomplishing numerous synthetically
valuable organic transformations that are either otherwise not possible or inefficient. The use …

Metal complexes of secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs) were introduced as homogeneous
catalysts in the 1980s for hydroformylation and hydrogenation with platinum as the metal. As …

The hydration of nitriles is an atom economical route to generate primary amides of great
academic and industrial significance. From an academic perspective, considerable progress …

This contribution gives an overview of transition metal complexes with κ 1-Psingle
bondmetalated organophosphorus ligands of general formula {R 1 R 2 P (O)}. Their …

Several rhodium (I) complexes,[RhCl (COD)(PR3)], containing potentially cooperative
phosphine ligands, have been synthesized and evaluated as catalysts for the selective …

The air-stable hydride-platinum (II) complex [PtH {(PMe2O) 2H}(PMe2OH)], reported by
Parkins and co-workers in 1995, is the most versatile catalyst currently available for the …

The binap-based hydroxyphosphine-(η6-arene)–ruthenium (II) complexes [RuX {η6: κ1 (P)-
PPh2-binaphthyl}{PPh2 (OH)}][OTf](X= OTf (4), Cl (5)) have been evaluated as potential …

Three different series of half‐sandwich Os (II) complexes, namely [OsCl2 (η6‐p‐
cymene){PPh2 (NR2)}][R= Me (5a), Et (5b)],[OsCl2 (η6‐p‐cymene){PPh (NR2) 2}][R= Me …

Three new arene-ruthenium (II) complexes were prepared by treating [{RuCl (µ-Cl)(η 6-
arene)} 2](η 6-arene= p-cymene) dimer with tri (2-furyl) phosphine (PFu 3) and 1, 3, 5-triaza …
