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 …

Mesoionic carbenes (MICs) of the 1, 2, 3-triazolylidene type have established themselves as
a popular class of compounds over the past decade. Primary reasons for this popularity are …

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 …

Pincer complexes are useful tools for organic synthesis. Their high stability and easy
functionalization have allowed the development of novel catalytic systems that have had a …

The utility of carbazole in photo-, electro-, and medicinal applications has ensured its
widespread use also as the backbone in tridentate pincer ligands. In this review, the aim is …

1, 3-Enynes are core structures of various natural products or pharmaceuticals and are
broadly used synthons in organic synthesis. Metal-catalyzed alkyne dimerization is a …

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 …

The mechanism and selectivity of terminal alkyne coupling reactions promoted by rhodium
(I) complexes of NHC‐based CNC pincer ligands have been investigated. Synthetic and …

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 …
