Steric indices are parameters used in chemistry to describe the spatial arrangement of
atoms or groups of atoms in molecules. They are important in determining the reactivity …

The engineering of catalysts with desirable properties can be accelerated by computer-
aided design. To achieve this aim, features of molecular catalysts can be condensed into …

The story of C− C bond formation includes several reactions, and surely Suzuki‐Miyaura is
among the most outstanding ones. Herein, a brief historical overview of insights regarding …

Ligands, especially phosphines and carbenes, can play a key role in modifying and
controlling homogeneous organometallic catalysts, and they often provide a convenient …

Develo** more efficient catalysts remains one of the primary targets of organometallic
chemists. To accelerate reaching this goal, effective molecular descriptors and visualization …

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in chemistry has developed rapidly over the
past twenty years. These interesting compounds are predominantly employed in …

The synthesis of a set of cobalt (III)-complexes equipped with trisubstituted chiral
cyclopentadienyl ligands is reported, and their steric and electronic parameters are mapped …

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) contains a carbene carbon incorporated in a nitrogen-
containing heterocycle, presumably reactive and difficult to isolate. 1 The first isolation of …

Asymmetric catalysis is an advanced area of chemical synthesis, but the handling of
abundantly available, purely aliphatic hydrocarbons has proven to be challenging. Typically …

We present a free web application for the calculation of the buried volume (% VBur) of NHC
ligands. The web application provides a graphic and user‐friendly interface to the SambVca …
