Steric indices are parameters used in chemistry to describe the spatial arrangement of
atoms or groups of atoms in molecules. They are important in determining the reactivity …

The story of C− C bond formation includes several reactions, and surely Suzuki‐Miyaura is
among the most outstanding ones. Herein, a brief historical overview of insights regarding …

Classical N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) featuring the carbene center at the C2‐position
of 1, 3‐imidazole framework (ie C2‐carbenes) are well acknowledged as very versatile …

The development of effective catalysts is one of the big challenges associated with a new
circular carbon economy addressing climate change. The targeted synthesis of robust and …

This account highlights the synthesis and applications of one of the very bulky NHC ligands,
IPr*(1, 3-bis (2, 6-bis (diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl) imidazo-2-ylidene). This ligand and …

The cross-coupling of aryl esters has emerged as a powerful platform for the
functionalization of otherwise inert acyl C–O bonds in chemical synthesis and catalysis …

We report a combined experimental and computational investigation of the Suzuki–Miyaura
cross‐coupling of amides enabled by [Pd (NHC)(allyl) Cl] precatalysts. Most crucially …

We report a N-heterocyclic carbene copper (I) complex-catalysed formal cycloaddition
between readily available propargylic alcohols and carbon dioxide at room temperature. By …

Abstract MIL-125 (Ti)-NH 2 has been post-synthetically modified by reaction of pyridine with
the terephthalate amino groups to form pyridine-imine that act as ligands of nickel (II). Ni …

Carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds are ubiquitous but are among the least reactive bonds in
organic chemistry. Recently, catalytic approaches to activate C–C bonds by transition metals …
