Although chemically binding interatomic interactions are the basis for chemistry as a whole,
the understanding of the nature of the chemical bond is much less advanced than the …

Among the most common ligands found on transition metal catalysts are halide ions. Of the
commercially available catalysts or pre‐catalysts, most are halo–metal complexes. In recent …

can be attributed to the discovery and development of the metallocenes by Wilkinson and
Fischer, 1 the field has been and is still dominated by compounds that follow the so-called …

For the purpose of this review the term organometallic fluoride is used strictly to describe
compounds containing fluorine-metal and carbon-metal bonds with the same metal atom …

A Ni-catalyzed intermolecular enantioselective hydroamination of branched 1, 3-dienes is
reported. The method is broadly applicable, highly regio-, chemo-, and enantioselective, and …

Density functional theory indicates that oxidative addition of the C− F and C− H bonds in
C6F6 and C6H6 at zerovalent nickel and platinum fragments, M (H2PCH2CH2PH2) …

The first catalytic enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed carbonyl reductive couplings of
allene pronucleophiles is described. Using an iodide-modified ruthenium-BINAP-catalyst …

When RuH2 (CO)(PPh3) 3 was reacted with 2, 2-dimethyl-1-(2-p-tolylphenyl) propan-1-one
(2), the ruthenium− aryloxy complex 3 was obtained in 76% yield. The structure of this …

The catalytic hydrodefluorination (HDF) of hexafluorobenzene, pentafluorobenzene, and
pentafluoropyridine with alkylsilanes is catalyzed by the ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene …

The fluoride congener of Wilkinson's catalyst,[(Ph3P) 3RhF](1), has been synthesized and
fully characterized. Unlike Wilkinson's catalyst, 1 easily activates the inert C− Cl bond of ArCl …
