Numerous unsaturated substrate molecules undergo migratory insertion with metal-carbon
bonds. Recent attention has been focused on insertion of CO and alkenes into d8 metal …

Five‐coordinate platinum (II) complexes represent a minority compared to the well‐known
class of square‐planar species. However, since the first appearances in the literature, their …

Cationic platinum (II) complexes [(t bpy) Pt (Ph)(L)]+[t bpy= 4, 4′-di-tert-butyl-2, 2′-
bipyridyl; L= THF, NC5F5, or NCMe] catalyze the hydrophenylation of ethylene to generate …

This work elucidates a long-standing unexplained paradox commonly observed within the
polymerization of α-olefin using palladium (Pd)(II)–diimine catalysts, in which isomerization …

New five-coordinate Pt (II) complexes containing a glycosylated carbene fragment were
synthesized. A member of this class shows very high in vitro cytotoxicity and an exceptional …

This article describes the synthesis and characterization of novel cationic five-coordinate Pt
(II) complexes containing nitrogen sugar-based ligands. The cytotoxicity of the complexes …

Pyridinimine-modified Pd (II) complexes of general formulae (NN′) Pd (Y) 2 catalyze the
methoxycarbonylation of styrene to give dimethyl phenylsuccinate as the largely major …

This series, Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic Reactions, provides an ongoing
critical review of the published literature concerned with the mechanisms of reactions of …
