This review provides a comprehensive view of the application of first-row transition metals in
asymmetric hydrogenation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. The catalytic behavior of …

Electrocatalytic nanocarbon (EN) is a class of material receiving intense interest as a
potential replacement for expensive, metal-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion and …

A major impediment to Li–O2 battery commercialization is the low discharge capacities
resulting from electronically insulating Li2O2 film growth on carbon electrodes. Redox …

IUPAC defines Lewis acidity as the thermodynamic tendency for Lewis pair formation. This
strength property was recently specified as global Lewis acidity (gLA), and is gauged for …

A series of 4, 4′-dimethyl-2, 2′-bipyridyl ruthenium complexes with carbonyl ligands were
prepared and studied using a combination of electrochemical and spectroscopic methods …

Photoredox catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in synthetic organic chemistry, but
