In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

Mesoionic carbenes are a subclass of the family of N-heterocyclic carbenes that generally
feature less heteroatom stabilization of the carbenic carbon and hence impart specific donor …

Conspectus Classical carbenes are usually described as neutral compounds featuring a
divalent carbon with only six electrons in their valence shell. It was only in 1988 that our …

Even though the existence of 1, 2, 3‐triazoles has been known for more than a century, the
recent discovery of a copper (I) catalyzed version of this reaction has attributed …

An effective visible-light-promoted iridium (III)-catalyzed hydrogen production from N-
heterocycles is described. A single iridium complex constitutes the photocatalytic system …

This review summarizes the more recent methods (since 2015) for the synthesis of
thioethers using homogeneous metals as catalysts. The thioether moiety can be found in …

A set of iridium (I) and iridium (III) complexes is reported with triazolylidene ligands that
contain pendant benzoxazole, thiazole, and methyl ether groups as potentially chelating …

A protocol for the Au‐promoted anti‐Markovnikov hydrothiolation of olefins using ex situ
generated methanethiol is reported. The use of S‐methylisothiourea hemisulfate salt as a …

Understanding and quantifying the electronic properties of ligands is important both from a
fundamental point of view and also for their applications in various branches of chemistry. In …

A regioselective rhodium-catalyzed thiolation of N-tosyl acrylamides with readily available
disulfides has been developed. Through N-tosylamide-assisted activation of the alkenyl C …
