Bimetallic catalysts of nickel (0) with a trivalent rare-earth ion or Ga (III), NiML3 (where L is
[iPr2PCH2NPh]−, and M is Sc, Y, La, Lu, or Ga), were investigated for the selective …

cis-Delivery of H2 to the π-system of an unsaturated substrate is the canonical course of
metal catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. The semireduction of internal alkynes with the aid …

The hydrogenation of alkynes allows the synthesis of olefins, which are important feedstock
for the materials, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industry. Thus, methods that enable …

Promoters are ubiquitous in industrial heterogeneous catalysts. The wider roles of promoters
in accelerating catalysis and/or controlling selectivity are, however, not well understood. A …

We present a versatile method for the preparation of hyperpolarized [1-13C] fumarate as a
contrast agent for preclinical in vivo MRI, using parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) …

The selective semihydrogenation of alkynes to (E)-alkenes is a challenging transformation
that is of significant synthetic interest. The development of direct hydrogenation catalysts for …

A heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel complex comprising three chiral carboxylate ligands
and one achiral acetamidate ligand has recently been found to be uniquely effective in …

The selective hydrogenation of carbon-carbon triple bonds to the corresponding double
