The use of metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) by transition metal bifunctional catalysts has
emerged at the forefront of homogeneous catalysis science. Specially designed ligands can …

The traditional economy based on carbon‐intensive fuels and materials has led to an
exponential rise in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Outpacing the natural carbon cycle …

Our planet urgently needs sustainable solutions to alleviate the anthropogenic global
warming and climate change. Homogeneous catalysis has the potential to play a …

Homogeneously catalyzed reactions often make use of additives and promotors that affect
reactivity patterns and improve catalytic performance. While the role of reaction promotors is …

Abstract The [fac-PNN] RuH (PPh 3)(CO) complex (Ru1) has been identified as a highly
efficient catalyst for the hydrogenation of a broad spectrum of arylcarbamates and their …

Effective assessment of catalytic performance is the foundation for the rational design and
development of new catalysts with superior performance. The ubiquitous …

Metal–ligand cooperation, in which both the metal and the ligand of a transition metal
complex actively participate in chemical transformations leading to enhanced reactivity or …

Hydrogenation of the dearomatized PNN ligand of the Milstein bipyridyl complex RuH
(CO)[PNN](2) gives a square-pyramidal Ru (II) product RuH (CO)[pPNN](5). The central ring …

The current existing methods for the amide bond synthesis via acceptorless
dehydrogenative coupling of amines and alcohols all require high reaction temperatures for …

In this article, we describe a detailed experimental and computational study of the activation
mechanism for a highly active pincer ruthenium (0) precatalyst for the hydrogenation of polar …
