The synthesis of renewable fuels from abundant water or the greenhouse gas CO2 is a
major step toward creating sustainable and scalable energy storage technologies. In the last …

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 …

Catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions form the core of the modern
chemical industry. This vast class of reactions is found in any part of chemical synthesis …

Cobalt has become increasingly attractive in homogeneous catalysis because of its unique
characteristics and outstanding catalytic performance in addition to being cheap and earth …

The sustainable use of the resources on our planet is essential. Noble metals are very rare
and are diversely used in key technologies, such as catalysis. Manganese is the third most …

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

The catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to form aldimines represents
an environmentally benign methodology in organic chemistry. This has been accomplished …

The use of bis (NHC) manganese (I) complexes 3 as catalysts for the hydrogenation of
esters was investigated. For that purpose, a series of complexes has been synthesized via …

Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed stereodivergent transfer hydrogenation of
alkynes to Z-and E-alkenes. Effective selectivity control is achieved based on a rational …
