Whereas indications of radical reactivity in bismuth compounds can be traced back to the
19th century, the preparation and characterization of both transient and persistent bismuth …

Bismuth has recently been shown to be able to maneuver between different oxidation states,
enabling access to unique redox cycles that can be harnessed in the context of organic …

A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged—especially
within the past 10 years—that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry …

The oxidative addition of aryl electrophiles is a fundamental organometallic reaction widely
applied in the field of transition metal chemistry and catalysis. However, the analogous …

We disclose a Bi-catalyzed C–H trifluoromethylation of (hetero) arenes using CF3SO2Cl
under light irradiation. The catalytic method permits the direct functionalization of various …

In contrast to the extensive but non-recyclable use of tetraalkoxydiboron (4) compounds as
stoichiometric reagents in diverse reactions, this article reports an atom-economical reaction …

A Bi-catalyzed synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from the corresponding (hetero) aryl boronic
acids is presented. We demonstrate that the organobismuth (III) catalysts bearing a bis-aryl …

Herein we present the catalytic activation of N2O at a BiI⇄ BiIII redox platform. The activation
of such a kinetically inert molecule was achieved by the use of bismuthinidene catalysts …

Herein, we report a hydrodefluorination reaction of polyfluoroarenes catalyzed by
bismuthinidenes, Phebox-Bi (I) and OMe-Phebox-Bi (I). Mechanistic studies on the …

Radical cross-coupling reactions represent a revolutionary tool to make C (sp 3)–C and C
(sp 3)–heteroatom bonds by means of transition metals and photoredox or electrochemical …
