Background Acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) reactions can result not only in simple
removal of hydrogen gas from various substrates but also, importantly, in surprisingly …

The alkyl group is the most common component of organic molecules and the most difficult
to selectively functionalize. The development of catalysts for dehydrogenation of alkyl …

The value of catalytic dehydrogenation of aliphatics (CDA) in organic synthesis has
remained largely underexplored. Known homogeneous CDA systems often require the use …

Since the seminal reports by Shaw and co-workers in the mid-1970s, 1-7 the chemistry of
pincer-ligated transition-metal complexes has experienced tremendous development and …

The rise of green chemistry has drawn attention to bond construction strategies that promote
atom economy and avoid mutagenic reagents. 1 For example, both goals are achieved by …

Alkanes constitute the cheapest and most abundant feedstock for organic chemicals.
However, the redistribution of CsC and CsH bonds in hydrocarbons into more sophisticated …

A great technological challenge facing our global future is the development of a secure,
clean, and renewable energy source. 1-4 Rising standards of living in a growing world …

Bernard Shaw's pioneering research1-15 on cyclometalated phosphine-based pincer
complexes has inspired many others. 16-208 Although the first metal complexes with …

Since the first reports in the late 1970s on transition metal complexes containing pincer‐type
ligands—named after the particular coordination mode of these ligands—these systems …

The development of catalytic reactions involving carbon‐hydrogen bond cleavage is
currently one of the most attractive research subjects in organic and organometallic …
