In this critical review the reactivity patterns observed with different types of diyne substrates
in gold catalysis are discussed. Apart from the many examples from homogeneous catalysis …

The hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds is one of the most critical reactions
in silicone industrial production. The homogeneous Speier's catalyst, Karstedt's catalyst, and …

Single-atom site (SAS) catalysts have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent
performance. However, most of the current research models of SAS catalysts are based on …

Organic synthesis using gold has gained tremendous attention in last few years, especially
heterogeneous gold catalysis based on gold nanoparticles has made its place in almost all …

Activation of H–H, Si–H, and C–H bonds through σ-bond coordination has grown in the past
30 years from a scientific curiosity to an important tool in the functionalization of …

Supported Pd–Au alloy catalysts were developed for the highly efficient and selective
hydrosilylation of α, β-unsaturated ketones and alkynes. The Pd/Au atomic ratio of the Pd …

The first example of Au-catalyzed hydrosilylation of allenes is presented using recyclable
gold nanoparticles as catalyst, without the requirement of any external ligands or additives …

The utilization of intermolecular addition of carbon–carbon π-bonded systems as atom-
economical approach is a topic of significant interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Apart …

Cationic rhodium (I) complexes containing picolyl-NHC (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene)
ligands that differ in the substitution at the 6-position of the pyridine donor serve as efficient …
