Transition‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis
methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these …

We begin with a brief historical review of the development of our understanding of the
normal ordering of nd orbitals of a transition metal interacting with ligands, the most common …

The functionalization of graphene and (8, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)
with individual 3d transition metal (TM) atoms was modeled using density functional theory …

Transition metals have been invaluable reagents for the organic chemist since the
beginning of this century. In particular, palladium, formerly used only for redox reactions, has …

The known complex {Cp (PPh3) 2Ru} 2 (μ-C⋮ CC⋮ C)(3-Ph) and its PMe3-substitution
product {Cp (PPh3)(PMe3) Ru} 2 (μ-C⋮ CC⋮ C)(3-Me) have been shown by cyclic …

The theoretical work presented here demonstrates that, when substitution takes place at
appropriate positions, cyanation could be a useful tool for reducing the internal …

The electronic, vibrational, and excited-state properties of hexanuclear rhenium (III)
chalcogenide clusters based on the [Re6 (μ3-Q) 8] 2+(Q= S, Se) core have been …

Three-coordinate boron, isoelectronic with a trigonal planar carbonium ion, possesses a
vacant p orbital which can conjugate with an organic π system and thus serve as a π …

The corrosion inhibition on metallic iron surfaces by organic molecules has been
investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The inhibition efficiency of thiophenol …

Although a few nanosized metal carbonyl clusters were already obtained in the seventies,
these structurally and compositionally well-defined molecules attracted the interest of …
