The synthesis of a phosphorus (III) compound bearing a N, N‐bis (3, 5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐
phenoxy) amide ligand is reported. This species has been found to react with ammonia and …

A geometrically constrained phosphine bearing a tridentate NNS pincer ligand is reported.
The effect of the geometric constraint on the electronic structure was probed by theoretical …

Ammonia gas, NH3, is a cheap and widely used industrial feedstock, which has received
tremendous research interests in its functionalization. This work reports a breakthrough in …

A carbene-stabilized dithiolene zwitterion (3) activates ammonia, affording 4• and 5, through
both single-electron transfer (SET) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Reaction products …

A diazadiphosphapentalene derivative 5 featuring a bent geometry with two phosphorus
atoms at the bridgehead has been synthesized. Under mild conditions, compound 5 readily …

A novel PNP-pincer type phosphaalkene complex of iridium bearing a dearomatized
pyridine unit (3) has been prepared. Complex 3 rapidly reacts with ammonia at room …

The rhodium (I)-catalyzed C–H alkylation of 1-naphthylamide derivatives with alkenes at the
C8-position using a picolinamide directing group is reported. Various alkenes including …

In continuation of our studies on bond activation and catalysis by pincer complexes, based
on metal–ligand cooperation, we present here a rare example of amine N–H activation by …

A Ni0‐NCN pincer complex featuring a six‐membered N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)
central platform and amidine pendant arms was synthesized by deprotonation of its NiII …

β-Diketiminate ligands featuring backbone NMe2 groups have been exploited to access a
series of two-coordinate cations of the type [(N-nacnac) E]+(E= Si, Ge, Sn), whose reactivity …
