Sustainability requires that we reuse spent carbon sources from CO2 emissions to generate
new products and materials. In this regard, carbon capture is a necessary requirement for …

This review describes the recent advances (from 2008 onwards) in the use of Schiff-base
metal complexes as catalysts for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The …

Here we describe the discovery of a new class of C–H borylation catalysts and their use for
regioselective C–H borylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic systems. The new …

Hemilability is an important concept in homogeneous catalysis where both the reactant
activation and the product formation can occur simultaneously through a reversible opening …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials composed of
metal ions or clusters interconnected by organic ligands. Many proposed applications for …

Spiro-orthoesters, produced from the coupling of lactones and epoxides, are presequenced
monomers capable of generating alternating poly (ether-alt-esters) after ring-opening …

Neutral heavier group 13 metals aluminum, gallium, and indium have been utilized as Lewis
acid catalysts in various organic transformations ranging from classical organic reactions to …

Overcoming entropic constraints to selectively produce high-molecular-weight cyclic poly
(lactide)(c-PLA) is a challenge. In this work, we use an air-stable cationic alkyl indium …

Indium compounds are commonly considered weaker Lewis acids than their gallium
counterparts. We explore the difference in Lewis acidity of the cationic dialkylgallium [GaR2 …

Dinuclear aluminum methyl complexes bearing aromatic diamine-bridged tetra (phenolato)
ligands and the mononuclear aluminum methyl complex with the phenylamine-bridged bis …
