Transition metal-catalysed C–H activation has emerged as an increasingly powerful platform
for molecular syntheses, enabling applications to natural product syntheses, late-stage …

Abstract Transition-metal-catalysed, non-enzymatic transformations of C–H and C= C bonds
to C–N bonds through nitrene transfer (NT) are powerful synthetic tools to prepare valuable …

Catalytic transformation of ubiquitous C–H bonds into valuable C–N bonds offers an efficient
synthetic approach to construct N-functionalized molecules. Over the last few decades …

Rhodium (Rh) acylnitrene complexes are widely implicated in catalytic C–H amidation
reactions but have eluded isolation and structural characterization. To overcome this …

Copper is one of the most abundant and less toxic transition metals. Nature takes advantage
of the bioavailability and rich redox chemistry of Cu to carry out oxygenase and oxidase …

Transition metals can assemble to form multinuclear complexes by engaging in direct metal-
to-metal interactions. Metal–metal covalent bonds provide a large perturbation in electronic …

The electrochemical conversion of ammonia to dinitrogen in a direct ammonia fuel cell
(DAFC) is a necessary technology for the realization of a nitrogen economy. Previous efforts …

Nitrene radical complexes are reactive intermediates with discrete spin density at the
nitrogen‐atom of the nitrene moiety. These species have become important intermediates …

C–H functionalization is a very active research field that has attracted the interest of
scientists from many disciplines. This Outlook describes the collaborative efforts within the …

Catalytic C–H amination reactions enable direct functionalization of non-activated C (sp3)–H
bonds with high levels of regio-, chemo-and stereoselectivity. As a powerful tool to unlock …
