In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of C–H activation methods
promoted by NHC–transition metal complexes, covering the literature since 2002 (the year …

Although known for over 90 years, only in the past two decades has the chemistry of diboron
(4) compounds been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction …

The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

The need to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is pushing toward
the use of “renewable carbon”, so to avoid as much as possible burning “fossil carbon”. It …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

With the continuous development of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry during the past
decade, NHC metal complexes have gained wide applications in the research field of …

Frustrated Lewis pairs comprising phosphine and borane react to reversibly bind and
release CO2, offering a rare example of metal-free CO2 sequestration. The mechanism of …

Asymmetric metal based catalysis has advanced quickly in recent years, with its efficiency
relying exclusively on chiral ligands. Rational design and meticulous selection of chiral …

In the last two decades, CO2 emission has caused a lot of environmental problems. To
mitigate the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, various strategies have been …

At room temperature, the early/late heterobimetallic complex Co (i Pr2PNMes) 3Zr (THF) has
been shown to oxidatively add CO2, generating (OC) Co (i Pr2PNMes) 2 (μ-O) Zr (i …
