Hydrocarbons, especially saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), are the main constituents of oil
and natural gas, the feedstocks for chemical industry. Therefore, it is obvious that …

Unactivated Csp3− H bonds are ubiquitous in organic chemicals and hydrocarbon
feedstocks. However, these resources remain largely untapped, and the development of …

This book deals with polypyrazolylborates (scorpionates), a class of ligands known since
1966, but becoming rapidly popular with inorganic, organometallic and coordination …

A new ruthenium-catalyzed direct sp3 C− H to C− C bond transformation is disclosed.
Specifically, a method for the α-arylation of cyclic amines, containing either permanent …

Various metallabenzene complexes, analogues of benzene where one CH unit has been
replaced by an organometallic fragment, have been reported in the literature. A detailed …

The synthesis of two members of a new PCP pincer ligand family and their complexation
with iridium has been developed. Double C–H activation results in a ligand anchored by a …

This review deals with rhodium and iridium complexes of the hydridotris (pyrazolyl) borate
(Tp′) ligands. In addition to outlining the synthesis of precursor compounds, an overview of …

Two important objectives in organometallic chemistry are to understand C− H bond
activation reactions mediated by transition metal compounds and then to develop efficient …

Ir‐catalysed allylic alkylations of enantiomerically enriched monosubstituted allylic acetates
proceed with up to 87% retention of configuration using P (OPh) 3 as ligand. High regio‐and …

The reaction of [IrCl (COE) 2] 2 (COE= cyclooctene) with bulky PNP amino pincer ligand HN
(CH2CH2P t Bu2) 2,(H PNP) tBu, results in high-yield formation of iridium (III) complex [IrH …
