The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-
abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel …

The present review offers an overview of nonclassical (eg, with no pre-or in situ activation of
a carboxylic acid partner) approaches for the construction of amide bonds. The review aims …

The different types of acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation (AAD) reactions are discussed,
followed by the catalysts and mechanisms involved. Special emphasis is put on the common …

Activation of inert chemical bonds by transition metal complexes is an area of utmost
importance. Efficient bond activation can provide a leading entry to successful catalytic …

Conspectus The substitution of expensive and potentially toxic noble-metal catalysts by
cheap, abundant, environmentally benign, and less toxic metals is highly desirable and in …

Pincer complexes are becoming increasingly important for organometallic chemistry and
organic synthesis. Since numerous applications for such catalysts have been developed in …

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 …

Site selectivity and stereocontrol remain major challenges in C–H bond functionalization
chemistry, especially in linear aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon scaffolds. We report the …

An industrially applicable catalytic methodology for dihydrogen formation from a proton
source remains at the forefront of all efforts to replace the present fossil fuel economy by a …

Heterogeneous catalysis for the one-pot synthesis of added-value chemicals is a growing
area in green chemistry. Among various types of organic transformations that are accessible …
