The most fundamental concepts in chemistry are structure, energetics, reactivity and their
inter-relationships, which are indispensable for promoting chemistry into a rational science …

Transition metal hydrides play a critical role in stoichiometric and catalytic transformations.
Knowledge of free energies for cleaving metal hydride bonds enables the prediction of …

The chemical activation of water would allow this earth-abundant resource to be transferred
into value-added compounds, and is a topic of keen interest in energy research,. Here, we …

The study and application of transition metal hydrides (TMHs) has been an active area of
chemical research since the early 1960s, for energy storage, through the reduction of …

Since our initial report in 1976, the oxygen rebound mechanism has become the consensus
mechanistic feature for an expanding variety of enzymatic C–H functionalization reactions …

Over the past years, impressive progress has been made on the development of the
chemoselective and direct formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds …

We have recently reported on several Fe catalysts for N2-to-NH3 conversion that operate at
low temperature (− 78° C) and atmospheric pressure while relying on a very strong …

Over the past few years, the development of new radical reactions has gained considerable
momentum. Most such radical transformations heavily depend on the in situ generation of …

A novel method for desaturation of aliphatic amines into enamines as well as allylic and
homoallylic amines has been developed. This general protocol operates via putative aryl …

A general, efficient, and site-selective visible light-induced Pd-catalyzed remote desaturation
of aliphatic alcohols into valuable allylic, homoallylic, and bis-homoallylic alcohols has been …
