The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-
abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel …

The use of metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) by transition metal bifunctional catalysts has
emerged at the forefront of homogeneous catalysis science. Specially designed ligands can …

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 …

Homogeneous catalysis of organic transformations by metal complexes has been mostly
based on complexes of noble metals. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made …

The development of novel and efficient earth-abundant metal catalysts as inexpensive and
sustainable alternatives to noble-metal catalysts is a rapidly expanding and evolving field of …

Borrowing hydrogen (or hydrogen autotransfer) reactions represent straightforward and
sustainable C–N bond-forming processes. In general, precious metal-based catalysts are …

Hydrogenations constitute fundamental processes in organic chemistry and allow for atom-
efficient and clean functional group transformations. In fact, the selective reduction of nitriles …

Base‐metal catalysis, especially with non‐noble‐metal pincer‐type catalysts, is increasingly
used in organic synthesis and thus becoming more and more important for organometallic …

Being the third most abundant transition metal in the Earth's crust (after iron and titanium)
and less toxic, reactions catalyzed by manganese are becoming very important. A large …

The use of first row transition metal complexes is one of the mainstreams in modern
homogeneous catalysis. The case of manganese is peculiar in that catalytic applications of …
