The step that cleaves the carbon-halogen bond in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling
reactions remains ill defined because of the multiple redox manifolds available to copper …

Confusion is a novel concept of isomerism in porphyrin chemistry, delivering a steady
stream of new chemistry since the discovery of N-confused porphyrin, a porphyrin mutant, in …

Copper complexes are widely used in the synthesis of fine chemicals and materials to
catalyze couplings of heteroatom nucleophiles with aryl halides. We show that cross …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Despite the success of Sonogashira coupling for the synthesis of arylalkynes and
