The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

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 …

Pincer ligands have become ubiquitous in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous
catalysis. Recently, new varieties of pincer ligands with non-symmetrical backbones and/or …

The geometry at an element centre can generally be predicted based on the number of
electron pairs around it using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory …

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 …

Cyclic polymers have dramatically different physical properties compared with those of their
equivalent linear counterparts. However, the exploration of cyclic polymers is limited …

The coordination chemistry of bis (phosphinimino) methanide ligands is widespread and
accompanies a large number of metal ions in the periodic table ranging from lithium to …

Manganese based compounds have gained much interest as catalytic materials due to their
natural abundance, biocompatibility, and multiple oxidation states. Manganese-based …

The development of earth abundant 3d metal-based catalysts continues to be an important
goal of chemical research. In particular, the design of base metal complexes for reductive …

The new redox-noninnocent azoaromatic pincers 2-(arylazo)-1, 10-phenanthroline (L1) and
2, 9-bis (phenyldiazo)-1, 10-phenanthroline (L2) are reported. The ligand L1 is a tridentate …
