The discovery of the fullerenes, the first molecular allotropes of carbon, in the gas phase in
19851 and the equally remarkable discovery of their synthesis in macroscopic amounts by …

Catalytic reduction of secondary amides to imines and secondary amines has been
achieved using readily available iridium catalysts such as [Ir (COE) 2Cl] 2 with diethylsilane …

Metal enolates are amongst the most important organometallic species in synthetic
chemistry. The generation of lithium enolates, for example, using strong lithium amide bases …

The controlled synthesis of high-nuclear regioisomeric core–shell exohedral
metallofullerenes (ExMFs) is challenging. Herein, we demonstrated the synthesis of …
