The completely revised third edition of this four-volume classic is fully updated and now
includes such topics as as CH-activation and multicomponent reactions. It describes the …

During the last decade there has been increased interest in the development of
homogeneous catalytic systems to promote homo-or copolymerization reactions of …

The alternating copolymers of carbon monoxide (CO) and vinyl arene monomers, namely
aromatic polyketones, are a family of attractive engineering plastic. In the catalytic synthesis …

This letter describes a new method for the highly site-and chemoselective Pd-catalyzed
direct arylation of naphthalene. Tuning the structure of the diimine-ligated Pd catalyst results …

To better understand the substituent effects of vinyl arene, a series of substituted styrenes
with different groups and locations (nX-St, n= 2, 3, 4; X= H, Me, t Bu, MeO, t BuO, F, Cl, and …

Syndiotactic polystyrene has attracted much interest in scientific and industrial research after
its first synthesis in 1985 and has led to a fast commercialization of this polymer. The catalyst …

Characteristic features of the catalytic synthesis of alternating copolymers of carbon
monoxide with various olefins, dienes, styrene and its derivatives are considered. The …

CO/styrene copolymerization by α-diimine palladium catalysts is a promising method for
direct synthesis of polyketones. The effect of the catalyst backbone structure on CO/styrene …

Both symmetric and nonsymmetric bis (aryl) acenaphthenequinonediimine ligands, featured
by substituents in meta-positions of the aryl rings, have been applied for the first time as …

The properties of transition-metal catalysts are largely dominated by the direct environment
around the metal center, and traditionally the steric environment has been adjusted by …
