The emergence of the PCP pincer ligand as a platform to enhance or allow challenging
bond activations and catalysis is an important development in coordination chemistry. Within …

This tutorial explores the diversity and characteristics of C-donor ligands. Particular
emphasis is put on the conceptual design of the electronic properties for applications in …

Metal–ligand cooperation has emerged as a powerful concept in bond activation chemistry
and catalysis. Here, both the metal and the ligand are directly involved in the bond breaking …

Ruthenium carbenes, famously used in olefin metathesis, have impacted numerous
research areas, ranging from synthesis to materials and biology. Although in the same group …

A detailed comparison of the effect of coordinating functional groups on the performance of
Suzuki–Miyaura reactions catalysed by nickel and palladium is reported, using competition …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2017 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …

A rigidified PCalkylP ligand allowed for the synthesis and characterization of cationic and
radical PCCarbeneP nickel complexes in which the carbene anchor of the pincer framework …

We report the first example of a cobalt PCcarbeneP pincer complex (1) featuring a central
alkylidene carbon donor accessed through the dehydration of an alcoholic POP proligand …

Despite their promising metal–ligand cooperative reactivity, PCcarbeneP pincer ligands are
rarely reported for first‐row transition‐metal centres. Using a dehydration methodology, we …

Rhodium PCcarbeneP pincer complexes 1-L (L= PPh3, PPh2 (C6F5), PCy3) readily
facilitate deoxygenation of amine and pyridine N-oxides. The resulting complexes exhibit η2 …
