A new in situ high-pressure IR (HP-IR) autoclave is presented that is especially suited for
mechanistic studies of fast catalytic reactions. This review summarizes several applications …

Tertiary and quaternary phosphonium borane catalysts are employed as catalysts for
CO2/epoxide copolymerization. Catalyst structures are strategically modified to gain insights …

The numerous approaches for the catalytic synthesis of alkyl alcohols using an intermediate
hydroformylation step are reviewed. One main strategy is a sequence where …

Organocobalt compounds in organic synthesis have three characteristic reactions. The first
occurs because cobalt has a high affinity to carbon–carbon π‐bonds or carbon–nitrogen π …

Use of NHCs in Hydroformylation Catalysis | Inorganic Chemistry ACS ACS Publications C&EN …

The nature of the organometallic species in solution is critical to defining whether or not an
active catalyst is present. Much of traditional thinking for homogeneously catalysed reactions …
