This review discusses the use of multidentate actor ligands as new inroads to small
molecule activation and catalysis. Bio-inspired strategies such as the use of redox-active …

Herein, we disclose Ru (II)-catalyzed regioselective distal C (sp2)–H arylation of quinoline N-
oxide with arylboronic acids to 8-arylquinolines. In the developed method, the Ru (II)-catalyst …

A novel class of Ru (II) sensitizers (TFRS-51–TFRS-54) with a 4, 4′-dicarboxy-2, 2′-
bipyridine anchoring ligand and two trans-oriented isoquinolinyl (or quinolinyl) pyrazolate …

The oxidation of the tribenzylphosphine derivative of the doubly cylcometallated platinum (II)
complex of diphenylpyridine, 1, with PhICl2 led, as a first step, to the formation of a highly …

A DFT computational study and a structural analysis of the coordination of arenes to
transition metals in low-hapticity (η1 and η2) modes have been developed, including a …

Synthesis of 8-Arylquinolines via One-Pot Pd-Catalyzed Borylation of Quinoline-8-yl Halides
and Subsequent Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling | The Journal of Organic Chemistry ACS ACS …

We synthesized and characterized two ligands, 2-(quinolin-8-yl) thiophene (1a) and 3-
(quinolin-8-yl) thiophene (1b). The selective C− H activation of the thiophene moieties was …

A series of rhodium (III) bis (quinolinyl) benzene (bisqx) complexes was studied as
candidates for the homogeneous partial oxidation of methane. Density functional theory …

Two stable degradants of palladium tBuXPhos catalyst have been synthesized from
tBuXPhos and Pd2 (dba) 3· CHCl3, isolated, and fully characterized. Complex 2 augments …

Traditional C–H bond activation by a concerted metalation–deprotonation (CMD)
mechanism involves precoordination of the C–H bond followed by deprotonation from an …
