The use of transition metals to catalyse the addition of hydridoboranes to unsaturated
organic molecules was initially realised several decades ago. Although this area of …

Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in
modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The …

The environmental and societal consequences of the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in
our atmosphere are among the most significant challenges society currently faces. Carbon …

Recent development in catalytic application of transition metal complexes having an M–E
bond (E= main group metal or metalloid element), which is stabilized by a multidentate …

Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the chemistry of transition
metal complexes supported by multidentate chelate ligands, such as pincer-type ligands, in …

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a crucial C1 building block for daily‐life commodities in a wide
range of industrial processes. Industrial production of HCHO today is based on energy‐and …

Base metal catalysis offers an alternative to reactions, which were once dominated by
precious metals in hydrofunctionalization reactions. This review article details the …

Reductive functionalization of the C= O unit in carboxylic acids, carbonic acid derivatives,
and ultimately in carbon dioxide itself is a challenging task of key importance for the …

The selective semihydrogenation of alkynes to (E)-alkenes is a challenging transformation
that is of significant synthetic interest. The development of direct hydrogenation catalysts for …

The conversion of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde is a transformation that is of considerable
significance in view of the fact that formaldehyde is a widely used chemical, but this …
