This review highlights recent studies discovering unconventional halogen bonding (HaB)
that involves positively charged metal centers. These centers provide their filled d‐orbitals …

Ion exchange resin supported Au alloyed Pd single atoms have been explored to serve as
an effective and robust catalyst for the Ullmann reaction of aryl halides under mild conditions …

A single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of diaryliodonium tetrachloroaurates (or, in the
recent terminology, tetrachloridoaurates),[(p-XC6H4) 2I][AuCl4](X= Cl, 1; Br, 2), was …

An increasing number of boron‐mediated reactions have become leading synthetic tools in
organic chemistry. The transition‐metal‐catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions of aryl‐and …

Aggregation induced emission (AIE) has emerged as a powerful method for sensing
applications. Based on AIE triggered by halogen bond (XB) formation, an ultrasensitive and …

Two isostructural trans-[MI2 (CNXyl) 2]· I2 (M= Pd or Pt; CNXyl= 2, 6-dimethylphenyl
isocyanide) metallopolymeric cocrystals containing uncommon bifurcated iodine···(metal …

An efficient method for the Ullmann coupling of chloropyridines catalyzed by poly (N-
vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP)-stabilized bimetallic Au–Pd alloy nanoclusters (NCs) under ambient …

Considerable progress has been made in the application of transition metal nanoparticles
(NP)-based catalysts in boron chemistry. These offer the advantages of high efficiency and …

A chemically stable porous carbonyl-incorporated aromatic polymer (CBAP-1 (EDA)) was
post-synthetically functionalized with ethylenediamine, and used as a solid support to …

A rapid, ligand-free, base-accelerated, copper-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of (het)
arylboronic acids is presented. A CuCl 2· 2H 2 O/Na 2 CO 3-based catalyst enabled the …
