Cyclic iron tetracarbenes are an emerging class of macrocyclic iron N-heterocyclic carbene
(NHC) complexes. They can be considered as an organometallic compound class inspired …

Iron-catalyzed organic reactions have been attracting increasing research interest but still
have serious limitations on activity, selectivity, functional group tolerance, and stability …

Over the past decades, organometallic complexes with precious elements, such as
ruthenium and iridium, are widely used as visible‐light photoredox catalysts. Recently, more …

The present paper comprehensively reviews group 3–7 metal NHC complexes reported
since 2014, with emphasis on their current applications and fundamental reactivity. Thanks …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as one of the most useful class of ligands
for metal complexes primarily due to their relatively easy synthesis, broad structural and …

This Perspective article highlights the recent development of mesoionic N-heterocyclic
olefins (mNHOs), where the exo-cyclic olefinic carbon is not bonded to strongly electron …

Dehydration of amides is an efficient, clean and fundamental route for the syntheses of
nitriles in organic chemistry. The two imperative functional groups viz., amide and nitrile …

In recent years, FeCl 3-photocatalyzed direct C–H/Si–H bond functionalization reactions
have attracted huge attention. In those transformations, chlorine radical (Cl•) could be …

1, 3-Enynes are core structures of various natural products or pharmaceuticals and are
broadly used synthons in organic synthesis. Metal-catalyzed alkyne dimerization is a …
