The emerging field of organometallic catalysis has shifted towards research on Earth-
abundant transition metals due to their ready availability, economic advantage, and novel …

The use of 3d metals in de/hydrogenation catalysis has emerged as a competitive field with
respect to “traditional” precious metal catalyzed transformations. The introduction of …

Efficient hydrogen storage and release are essential for effective use of hydrogen as an
energy carrier. In principle, formic acid could be used as a convenient hydrogen storage …

Homogeneous catalysis of organic transformations by metal complexes has been mostly
based on complexes of noble metals. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made …

Catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions form the core of the modern
chemical industry. This vast class of reactions is found in any part of chemical synthesis …

The sustainable use of the resources on our planet is essential. Noble metals are very rare
and are diversely used in key technologies, such as catalysis. Manganese is the third most …

A new hydrogenation catalyst based on a manganese complex of a chiral P, N, N ligand has
been found to be especially active for the hydrogenation of esters down to 0.1 mol% catalyst …

Herein we report the manganese-catalyzed C–C bond-forming reactions via α-alkylation of
ketones, amides, and esters, using primary alcohols. β-Alkylation of secondary alcohols by …

Base‐metal catalysis, especially with non‐noble‐metal pincer‐type catalysts, is increasingly
used in organic synthesis and thus becoming more and more important for organometallic …

Being the third most abundant transition metal in the Earth's crust (after iron and titanium)
and less toxic, reactions catalyzed by manganese are becoming very important. A large …
