Proton transfer reactions involving transition metal hydride complexes are prevalent in a
number of catalytic fuel-forming reactions, where the proton transfer kinetics to or from the …

Woodward and co-workers in 1952 characterised the unique structural features of ferrocene
(the first sandwich compound), demonstrated its aromatic nature and observed that on …

Superacidic media became famous in connection with carbocations. Yet not all reactive
intermediates can be generated, characterized, and eventually isolated from these Brønsted …

Crystallography and quantum mechanics have always been tightly connected because
reliable quantum mechanical models are needed to determine crystal structures. Due to this …

Metallocenes, including their permethylated variants, are extremely important in
organometallic chemistry. In particular, many are synthetically useful either as oxidants (eg …

Protonation reactions involving organometallic complexes are ubiquitous in redox chemistry
and often result in the generation of reactive metal hydrides. However, some organometallic …

The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand is a cornerstone of modern organometallic chemistry.
Since the discovery of ferrocene, the Cp ligand and its various derivatives have become …

Metal-metal contacts, though not yet widely realized, may provide exciting opportunities to
serve as tunable and functional interfaces in single-molecule devices. One of the simplest …

Ferrocene is perhaps the most popular and well-studied organometallic molecule, but our
understanding of its structure and electronic properties has not changed for more than 70 …

Reduction of the FeII complex [(PhPP2Cy) FeCl2](2) generated an electron‐rich and
unsaturated Fe0 species, which was reacted with white phosphorus. The resulting new …
