Hemilabile ligands–ligands containing two or more potential donors to a metal centre, of
which one or more can dissociate–have the ability to provide a transition metal complex with …

Carbon–sulfur bonds widely exist in natural products, pesticides, and drugs, and their
activation, cleavage, and transformation via transition metal catalysis have become more …

This review highlights the use of a bisphosphine ligand group in homogeneous catalysis.
This ligand group is known as the Xantphos-like ligands, which are based on the generic …

A general and metal-free radical route to synthesis of 3-acylspiro [4, 5] trienones is
established that utilizes TBHP (tert-butyl hydrogenperoxide) as an oxidation and a reaction …

Diphosphorus ligands connected by a single atom (R2PEPR2; E= CR2, CCR2 and NR) give
chelating ligands with very small bite-angles (natural bite-angle of 72° for dppm) as well as …

By using tandem Ru-catalysis, internal alkynes can be coupled with aldehydes for the
synthesis of β, γ-unsaturated ketones. The catalyst promotes alkyne transformations with …

In all previously reported metallacycloprop-1-ene or η2-vinyl complexes, the metal center
bears only one vinyl moiety. We have now successfully synthesized and structurally …

{xant (PiPr2) 2}(1) and I rHCl {xant (PiPr2)[iPrPCH (Me) CH2]}(2) react with diphenylsilane …

Adaptive ligands, which can adapt their coordination mode to the electronic structure of
various catalytic intermediates, offer the potential to develop improved homogeneous …

The square-planar monohydride complex RhH {xant (PiPr2) 2}(1; xant (PiPr2) 2= 9, 9-
dimethyl-4, 5-bis (diisopropylphosphino) xanthene) activates C–H bonds of arenes. Heating …
