This review discusses the principles underlying the design, synthesis, and catalytic
application of mono-and binuclear Pd (II)–N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. The …

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are a widely used class of ligands that have enabled an
exciting variety of organometallic chemistry and catalysis. As researchers design and …

The highly selective copper‐catalyzed hydroboration of allenes has been developed.
Allylboranes and alkenylboranes were selectively prepared by the judicious choice of …

Despite widespread use of complexes of the type Pd (L)(η3-allyl) Cl as precatalysts for cross-
coupling, the chemistry of related PdI dimers of the form (μ-allyl)(μ-Cl) Pd2 (L) 2 has been …

Transient Cu–H monomers have long been invoked in the mechanisms of substrate
insertion in Cu–H catalysis. Their role from Cu–H aggregates has been mostly inferred since …

This review covers the different methods for the synthesis of group XII metal–NHC
complexes with five-and six-membered NHC systems that have different N-heterocyclic …

On the basis of the strategy of developing highly efficient protocol for Pd-catalyzed cross-
coupling reactions, a series of bulky bis (imino) acenaphthene (BIAN)-supported Pd-PEPPSI …

The simple synthesis of a family of palladates containing an imidazolium counterion is
presented. These “ate” complexes can be easily converted into well-defined palladium–N …

A series of Pd–PEPPSI complexes were designed and synthesized. The relationship
between catalyst structure and properties was systematically investigated. It was revealed …

Most ligand designs for reactions catalyzed by (NHC) Cu–H (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene
ligand) have focused on introducing steric bulk near the Cu center. Here, we evaluate the …
