Cyclometalation refers to the transition metal-mediated activation of a CR bond to form a
metallacycle comprising a new metal-carbon σ bond (Scheme 1). 1, 2 Typically, the reaction …

Hydrosilanes are used as versatile coreactants in the generation of silyl-metal complexes.
Since organohydrosilanes may contain one, two, or three SiH bonds as tertiary, secondary …

Since their discovery by Swiatoslaw Trofimenko in 1967, poly (pyrazol-1-yl) borates have
been considered as one of the most useful ligands in modern coordination chemistry. The …

The preparation, structure, dynamic behavior in solution, and reactivity of polyhydride
complexes of platinum group metals, described during the last three decades, are …

Results The structural parameters for the model complex 4* were determined at different
levels of theory. The BP86 functional led to a significantly better agreement between the …

This feature article examines some of the recent advances in the chemistry of Z-type
transition metal–borane and X-type transition metal–boryl complexes. It focuses on the …

Pseudotetrahedral iron (II) coordination complexes that contain bridged nitride and terminal
imide linkages, and exhibit singlet ground-state electronic configurations, are described …

Publisher Summary Ambiphilic derivatives, also called “amphoteric derivatives”, are
polyfunctional compounds combining Lewis bases and Lewis acids. Such donor–acceptor …

Ambiphilic ligands have received considerable attention over the last two decades due to
their unique reactivity as organocatalysts and ligands. The iridium‐catalyzed C H …

Coordination of an ambiphilic diphosphine–borane (DPB) ligand to the RhCl (CO) fragment
affords two isomeric complexes. According to X‐ray diffraction analysis, each complex …
