Transition metal catalysis is of utmost importance for the development of sustainable
processes in academia and industry. The activity and selectivity of metal complexes are …

Zeolite chemistry and catalysis are expected to play a decisive role in the next decade (s) to
build a more decentralized renewable feedstock-dependent sustainable society owing to the …

The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

Radical C–H functionalization represents a useful means of streamlining synthetic routes by
avoiding substrate preactivation and allowing access to target molecules in fewer steps. The …

Single-molecule magnets represent the ultimate size limit for spin-based information storage
and processing; however, such applications require large spin relaxation barriers and …

Redox-active ligands have evolved from being considered spectroscopic curiosities–
creating ambiguity about formal oxidation states in metal complexes–to versatile and useful …

Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

In this (tutorial overview) perspective we highlight the use of “redox non-innocent” ligands in
catalysis. Two main types of reactivity in which the redox non-innocent ligand is involved can …

This tutorial explores the diversity and characteristics of C-donor ligands. Particular
emphasis is put on the conceptual design of the electronic properties for applications in …
