Pincers, tridentate ligands that prefer a meridional geometry, are a rising class because of
their distinctive combination of properties. They permit a good level of control on the nature …

Redox-active ligands have evolved from being considered spectroscopic curiosities–
creating ambiguity about formal oxidation states in metal complexes–to versatile and useful …

In this (tutorial overview) perspective we highlight the use of “redox non-innocent” ligands in
catalysis. Two main types of reactivity in which the redox non-innocent ligand is involved can …

The defining characteristic of a valence tautomeric (VT) transition in a metal complex with a
redox-active organic ligand is a stimulated intramolecular electron transfer between metal …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

Controlled ligand‐based redox‐activity and chemical non‐innocence are rapidly gaining
importance for selective (catalytic) processes. This Concept aims to provide an overview of …

Catecholates and 2-amidophenoxides are prototypical “noninnocent” ligands which can
form metal complexes where the ligands are best described as being in the monoanionic …

High-oxidation-state 3d metal species have found a wide range of applications in modern
synthetic chemistry and materials science. They are also implicated as key reactive species …

Catalysis offers a straightforward route to prepare various value-added molecules starting
from readily available raw materials. The catalytic reactions mostly involve multi-electron …
