Agostic interaction refers to the bonding between a coordinatively unsaturated metal atom
and its ligand, and is characterized by the drawing of the ligand towards the metal. The most …

Catalytic CO 2 conversion is a promising and increasingly needed strategy to reduce carbon
footprint, stockpile renewable energy in the form of fuels and high value-added chemicals. In …

Ruthenium–cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) catalysts, used at ppm levels, can enable
dramatically higher productivities in olefin metathesis than their N-heterocyclic carbene …

Single‐crystal X‐ray characterization of cationic (α‐diimine) Ni‐ethyl and isopropyl β‐
agostic complexes, which are key intermediates in olefin polymerization and …

The CMD/AMLA mechanisms of cyclopalladation and the parent fictitious but challenging
cyclonickelation of N, N-dimethylbenzylamine have been investigated by joint DFT-D and …

β-agostic Pd complexes are critical intermediates in catalytic reactions, such as olefin
polymerization and Heck reactions. Pd β-agostic complexes, however, have eluded …

Catalytic ethylene dimerization to 1-butene is a crucial reaction in the chemical industry, as 1-
butene is used for the production of most common plastics (eg, polyethylene). With well …

In our recent work, we revisited C–H and C–C bond activation in rhodium (I) complexes of
pincer ligands PCP, PCN, PCO, POCOP, and SCS. Our findings indicated that an η3 …

Zirconium and hafnium complexes bearing cycloheptane-or cyclononane-fused [OSSO]-type
bis (phenolato) ligands ([C7] and [C9], respectively) were prepared and subjected to the …

Agostic interactions involving titanium are textbook examples for C− H bond activation.
Therefore, it is surprising that there is no study in the literature in which the hydrogen atom in …
