It is well-recognized that N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have provided a new
dimension to the design of homogeneous catalysts. Part of the success of this type of ligands …

Metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) has become an important concept in catalysis by transition
metal complexes both in synthetic and biological systems. MLC implies that both the metal …

Pincer ligands have become ubiquitous in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous
catalysis. Recently, new varieties of pincer ligands with non-symmetrical backbones and/or …

Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride
donors, but also as Brønsted–Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant …

Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global
warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a …

Ruthenium PNP complex 1a (RuH (CO) Cl (HN (C2H4P i-Pr2) 2)) represents a state-of-the-
art catalyst for low-temperature (< 100° C) aqueous methanol dehydrogenation to H2 and …

Metal–ligand cooperation, in which metal and ligand participate in bond cleavage and
formation, is gathering great attention in recent years. In contrast to the classical bond …

A central issue in the design of reactions and catalysts based on metal complexes is the
hybridization of functional ligands with metal atoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that …

The possibility to implement both the exhaustive dehydrogenation of aqueous methanol to
hydrogen and CO2 and the reverse reaction, the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and …

Metal–organic frameworks have developed into a formidable heterogeneous catalysis
platform in recent years. It is well established that thermolysis of coordinated solvents from …
