The synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a series of cobalt terminal imido complexes
supported by an N-anchored tripodal tris (carbene) chelate is described, including a Co …

Square-planar cobalt (II) systems have emerged as powerful carbene transfer catalysts for
the synthesis of numerous (hetero) cyclic compounds via cobalt (III)–carbene radical …

For the last few decades, coordination chemists have seen many ligands whose role
pervades far beyond being a supporting ancillary. The ambiguity in their electronic structure …

Water oxidation catalysis stands out as one of the most important reactions to design
practical devices for artificial photosynthesis. Use of late first-row transition metal (TM) …

Aziridines are useful synthetic building blocks, widely employed for the preparation of
