Computational chemistry provides a versatile toolbox for studying mechanistic details of
catalytic reactions and holds promise to deliver practical strategies to enable the rational in …

The field of carbon dioxide reduction by homogeneous early transition complexes (groups 3–
7) is reviewed. Many reactions with CO 2 have been studied with late transition metal …

The gaseous small molecules, CO2 and N2O, play important roles in climate change and
ozone layer depletion, and they hold promise as underutilized reagents and chemical …

A critical survey on the literature on CO 2 metal complexes is provided. A re-evaluation of all
known CO 2 complexes reveals the existence of several bonding modes, which have not …

Titanium is a versatile metal that has important applications in practical synthesis, though
this is typically limited to stoichiometric reactions or Lewis acid catalysis. Recently, interest …

Molecular orbital (MO) theory is used to describe the bonding in transition metal pentalene
complexes in a variety of its coordination modes. The various MO models account for …

Reduction of the diamagnetic Ti (III)/Ti (III) dimer [Cl2Ti (μ-NImDipp)] 2 (1)(NImDipp=[1, 3-bis
(Dipp) imidazolin-2-iminato]−, Dipp= C6H3-2, 6-i Pr2) with 4 and 6 equiv of KC8 generates …

Here we show that a tridentate bis (aryloxide) anilide‐ligated titanium/potassium scaffold
promotes functionalization of coordinated N2 with CO2 and CS2 through formation of N− C …

A family of group 4 permethylpentalene complexes, Pn* MCpRX (M= Ti, Zr; CpR= Cp, CpMe,
CptBu, CpnBu, CpMe3, Ind; X= Cl, Me), has been synthesized and fully characterized by …

Treatment of [YbII (DippForm) 2 (thf) n](n= 2 (1aYb), n= 1 (1bYb); DippForm= N, N′-bis (2, 6-
diisopropylphenyl) formamidinate), with either excess CS2 or S8 gives [YbIII2 (DippForm) 4 …
