The emergence of the PCP pincer ligand as a platform to enhance or allow challenging
bond activations and catalysis is an important development in coordination chemistry. Within …

The “metathesis reaction” is a straightforward and often metal‐catalyzed chemical reaction
that transforms two hydrocarbon molecules to two new hydrocarbons by exchange of …

The olefin metathesis reaction is among the most widely applicable catalytic reactions for
carbon–carbon double bond formation. Currently, Mo–and Ru–carbene catalysts are the …

Iron porphyrin carbenes (IPCs) have been extensively recognized as the reactive
intermediates in various iron porphyrin-catalyzed carbene transfer reactions. While donor …

Nitriles (N≡ CR) are ubiquitous in coordination chemistry, yet literature studies on metal–
nitrile bonding based on a multi-technique approach are rare. We selected an easily …

Abstract π-Aromaticity is an important driving force in directing the synthesis of aromatic
compounds; in contrast, reactions induced by σ-aromaticity are uncommon. Here we report a …

Catalytic olefin metathesis based on the second‐and third‐row transition metals has
become one of the most powerful transformations in modern organic chemistry. The shift to …

Reaction of alkynes with PC carbene P complex 1 (featuring an alkylidene anchored pincer
ligand) results in the formation of η 3-benzo-λ 5-phosphinine rhodium complexes 2 …

Among Earth-abundant catalyst systems, iron-carbene intermediates that perform C–C bond
forming reactions such as cyclopropanation of olefins and C–H functionalization via carbene …

Olefin metathesis catalyzed by iron complexes has garnered substantial interest due to
iron's abundance and nontoxicity relative to ruthenium, yet its full potential remains …
