Alkenes are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, yet many classes of alkenes remain
challenging to access by current synthetic methodology. Herein, we report a copper hydride …

Amines are the most pivotal class of organic motifs in pharmaceutical compounds. Here we
provide a blueprint for a general synthesis of amines by catalyst differentiation enabled by …

The formation of hydrides at heterogeneous copper surfaces results in dramatic structural
and reactivity changes, yet the morphologies of these materials and their respective roles in …

Metal–N-heterocyclic carbene (M–NHC) complexes are well-known as an important class of
organometallic compounds widely used in transition-metal catalysis. Taking into account …

We disclose a 1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane (TACN) ligand featuring an appended boron Lewis
acid. Metalation with Cu (I) affords a series of tetrahedral complexes including a boron …

IPr*(IPr*= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-bis (diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) has
emerged as a powerful highly hindered and sterically-flexible ligand platform for transition …

A variety of different ground-state structures of carbene and phosphine groups 1 and 2
cationic, group 11 cationic, and group 10 neutral complexes were studied using density …

A synthetic method for preparation of optically active trifluoromethylthio (SCF3) compounds
by a copper‐catalyzed regio‐and enantioselective hydroboration of 1 …

A new class of photoswitchable NHC ligands, named azImBA, has been developed by
integrating azobenzene into a previously unreported imidazobenzoxazol-1-ylidene …

Control of site selectivity for organic synthesis in general, and for transition-metal-catalyzed
C–H functionalization in particular, is an important and challenging task. Steric interactions …
