In an era dominated by the utilization of hydrocarbon mixtures (ie, oil and natural gas) as
feedstocks for the chemical industry, the functionalization of CH bonds, particularly in a …

Turning a disadvantage to an advantage: The rather disappointing reactivity of the metal–
nitrogen bond in comparison to the metal–carbon bond resulted in the neglect of …

Hydrocarbyl complexes,(tBu3SiNH) 3ZrR (1-R), were prepared via metatheses of
(tBu3SiNH) 3ZrCl (1-Cl) with RMgX or RLi (R= Me, Et, Cy, CH2Ph, allyl, CH CH2, Ph …

The application of environmentally benign, cheap, and economically viable oxidation
procedures is a key challenge of homogeneous, oxidative alkane functionalization. The …

The iron (IV) imide complexes,(Me2IPr)–R2Fe= NAd (R= neoPe (3a), 1-nor (3b)) undergo
migratory insertion to iron (II) amides (Me2IPr) RFe {NR (Ad)}(R= neoPe (4a), 1-nor (4b)) …

Recent reports of 1, 2-addition of C− H bonds across Ru− X (X= amido, hydroxo) bonds of
TpRu (PMe3) X fragments {Tp= hydridotris (pyrazolyl) borate} suggest opportunities for the …

Reaction of (HBpz3) ReO (Ph)(OTf) with oxygen atom donors leads to oxidation of the
phenyl group [HBpz3= hydrotris (1-pyrazolyl) borate, OTf= triflate, OSO2CF3]. Reaction with …

Rates of cycloreversion of phenyl-substituted diolates of the type Cp* Re (O)(diolate), where

One of the emerging challenges associated with developing robust synthetic nitrogen
fixation catalysts is the competitive formation of hydride species that can play a role in …

The photoreactivity of d0 metal dioxo complexes in activating C− H bonds has been recently
studied.[1–3] We have previously reported that MoO2Cl2 (bpy‐tBu) is an effective platform …
