Hydrogenation is one of the most fundamental transformations in organic synthesis, and its
industrial applications span from fine chemicals to pharmaceuticals synthesis. 1− 3 Direct …

Hydrogen gas is a storable form of chemical energy that could complement intermittent
renewable energy conversion. One of the main disadvantages of hydrogen gas arises from …

The borrowing hydrogen (BH) principle, also called hydrogen auto-transfer, is a powerful
approach which combines transfer hydrogenation (avoiding the direct use of molecular …

The incorporation of a synthetic, catalytically competent metallocofactor into a protein
scaffold to generate an artificial metalloenzyme (ArM) has been explored since the late …

Formic acid (FA, HCO2H) receives considerable attention as a hydrogen storage material. In
this respect, hydrogenation of CO2 to FA and dehydrogenation of FA are crucial reaction …

The chemistry of amines, amides, and other nitrogencontaining compounds plays a central
role in the organic synthesis. In fact, the first synthesized organic compound was urea. 1 The …

Cobalt has become increasingly attractive in homogeneous catalysis because of its unique
characteristics and outstanding catalytic performance in addition to being cheap and earth …

The proportion of approved chiral drugs and drug candidates under medical studies has
surged dramatically over the past two decades. As a consequence, the efficient synthesis of …

The success of homogeneous catalysis can be attributed largely to the development of a
diverse range of ligand frameworks that have been used to tune the behavior of various …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …
