Organic syntheses are composed of two main types of reactions: Carbon-carbon bond
formations and functional group transformations. CC bond formation is the essence of …

A concise overview is given on mononuclear and dinuclear, bidentate Schiff base ruthenium
complexes with different additional ligands and on their applications in various chemical …

The chemistry of vinylidene complexes displays a representative example of how highly
reactive, short-lived organic molecules may be effectively stabilized by coordination to …

Herein, we describe a new gold‐catalyzed decarbonylative indene synthesis. Synergistic σ,
π‐activation of diyne substrates leads to gold vinylidene intermediates, which upon addition …

The ruthenium-catalyzed hydroamidation of terminal alkynes has evolved to become a
broadly applicable tool for the synthesis of enamides and enimides. Depending on the …

Alkylidene carbenes, also known as alkenylidenes, are reactive intermediates in organic
chemistry. Their high reactivity necessitates generation and trapping in situ, but unlike many …

The activation of internal alkynes by Cp* Ru and TpRu complexes gives respectively π-
alkyne and disubstituted vinylidene as stable species, even though both systems bear …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2004 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon–transition metal double or triple bond.

[TpRuCl (PTA)(PPh3)](1; PTA= 1, 3, 5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) reacts with
phenylacetylene, yielding the alkynyl complex [TpRu (C CPh)(PTA)(PPh3)](2) or the …

The paper presents recent work conducted in our group on the synthesis of a novel class of
homogeneous and immobilized Rucomplexes containing Schiff bases as O, N-bidentate …
