Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) provide uniquely tunable, periodic platforms for site‐
isolation of reactive low‐valent metal complexes of relevance in modern catalysis …

Well-defined organometallics supported on high surface area oxides are promising
heterogeneous catalysts. An important design factor in these materials is how the metal …

The definition of the van der Waals crust as the spherical section between the atomic radius
and the van der Waals radius of an element is discussed and a survey of the application of …

A cobalt-catalyzed intermolecular three-component coupling of arenes, ethylene, and
alkynes was developed using the well-defined air-stable cationic bis (phosphine) cobalt (I) …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can act as a platform for the heterogenization of
molecular catalysts, providing improved stability, allowing easy catalyst recovery and a route …

The σ-alkane complexes of transition metals, which contain an essentially intact alkane
molecule weakly bound to the metal, have been well established as crucial intermediates in …

In 2007 two of us defined the σ‐Complex Assisted Metathesis mechanism (Perutz and Sabo‐
Etienne, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46, 2578–2592), that is, the σ‐CAM concept. This new …

X-ray crystallography is an invaluable tool in design and development of organometallic
catalysis, but application typically requires species to display sufficiently high solution …

Using solid-state molecular organometallic (SMOM) techniques, in particular solid/gas
single-crystal to single-crystal reactivity, a series of σ-alkane complexes of the general …

The synthesis and characterization of the cationic cobalt (I) arene complex,[(dppf) Co (η6-
C7H8)][BArF4](dppf= 1, 1′-bis (diphenylphosphino) ferrocene; BArF4= B [(3, 5-(CF3) 2) …
