This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the most topical weakly coordinating
anions (WCAs) and contains information on WCA design, stability, and applications. As an …

Catalysis is key to the effective and efficient transformation of readily available building
blocks into high value functional molecules and materials. For many years research in this …

Crown ethers are heterocycles that, in their simplest form, are cyclic oligomers of dioxane.
The essential repeating unit of any simple crown ether is ethyleneoxy, ie,-CH2CH2O-, which …

Conspectus Catalysis has become an essential tool in science and technology, impacting

Integrated catalysis is an emerging methodology that can streamline the multi-step synthesis
of complicated products in a single reaction vessel, achieving a high degree of control and …

The catalytic transposition of double bonds holds promise as an ideal route to alkenes of
value as fragrances, commodity chemicals, and pharmaceuticals; yet, selective access to …

Transition metal complexes that incorporate crown ethers into the supporting ligands have
emerged as a powerful class of catalysts capable of cation-tunable reactivity. Cations held in …

This Review highlights stoichiometric reactions and elementary steps of catalytic reactions
involving cooperative participation of transition-metal hydrides and main group Lewis acids …

The synthesis and characterization of the Schiff base complexes Fe (II)(2M) and Fe (III) Cl
(3M), where M is a K+ or Ba2+ ion incorporated into the ligand, are reported. The Fe (III/II) …

Controlling the chain growth process in non-living polymerization reactions is difficult
because chain termination typically occurs faster than the time it takes to apply an external …
