It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Monoligated palladium (0) species, L1Pd (0), have emerged as the most active catalytic
species in the cross-coupling cycle. Today, there are methods available to generate the …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

The story of C− C bond formation includes several reactions, and surely Suzuki‐Miyaura is
among the most outstanding ones. Herein, a brief historical overview of insights regarding …

Ligands, especially phosphines and carbenes, can play a key role in modifying and
controlling homogeneous organometallic catalysts, and they often provide a convenient …

Although machine learning bears enormous potential to accelerate developments in
homogeneous catalysis, the frequent need for extensive experimental data can be a …

Steric and electronic effects play a very important role in chemistry, as these effects influence
the shape and reactivity of molecules. Herein, an easy-to-perform approach to assess and …

In the development of transition metal catalysis, the process of ligand screening, where an
optimal ligand for a reaction of interest is identified from a large variety of candidate …

The Tolman cone angle (θ), the par excellence descriptor of the steric measure of a
phosphine, has been recomputed for a set of 119 P-ligands, including simple phosphines …

Enantioselective hydrogenation of olefins by Rh-based chiral catalysts has been extensively
studied for more than 50 years. Naively, one would expect that everything about this …
