Although transient and difficult to observe, well-defined σ-alkane complexes are now
becoming established due to the developments in characterization techniques alongside …

Nickel (II) bis (benzimidazolin-2-ylidene) complexes of the general formula [NiBr2 (NHC)

It is well known that various transition elements can form M··· H hydrogen bonds. However,
for gold, there has been limited decisive experimental evidence of such attractive …

The ability of gold to act as proton acceptor and participate in hydrogen bonding remains an
open question. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of cationic gold (I) …

The article discusses the coordination chemistry of silicon (II). It states that the Si< sup> 2+
are high reactive and two-valence-electron species which were generated in laser-induced …

This study describes a general chemoselective Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of
polyhalogenated aryl triflates with the reactivity order of C–Cl> C–OTf using a Pd/L33 …

A series of capped metallo-cyclodextrins were synthesized, affording a variety of artificial
chiral metallo-pockets through modulation of the space around the metal. Carbene ligands …

Abstract Square‐planar d8‐ML4 complexes might display subtle but noticeable local Lewis
acidic sites in axial direction in the valence shell of the metal atom. These sites of local …

α-Amino acid residues exhibit various functions in biological systems. The side chain groups
are very important for formation of the metal center and its catalytic action in proteins. They …
