C–H functionalization has been emerging as a powerful method to establish carbon–carbon
and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Many efforts have been devoted to transition-metal …

The usually employed term of Holy Grail in the search of efficient methods that convert
readily available sources such as hydrocarbons into value added products is yet completely …

This book deals with polypyrazolylborates (scorpionates), a class of ligands known since
1966, but becoming rapidly popular with inorganic, organometallic and coordination …

Since their discovery by Swiatoslaw Trofimenko in 1967, poly (pyrazol-1-yl) borates have
been considered as one of the most useful ligands in modern coordination chemistry. The …

Many very simple and fundamentally important cations were initially observed in the gas
phase, eg inside a mass spectrometer or even in space. The question arises, how to …

Tris (pyrazolyl) borates, first reported about 40 years ago, are a very useful class of
monoanionic, nitrogen-based, auxiliary ligands in coordination and organometallic and …

Owing to the often-similar physical and chemical properties of structural isomers of organic
molecules, large efforts have been made to develop efficient strategies to isolate specific …

Copper (I) and silver (I) adducts of [3, 5-(CF3) 2Pz]− have been prepared in good yield by
reacting the corresponding metal (I) oxide with pyrazole [3, 5-(CF3) 2Pz] H. 1H, 13C, 19F …

The silver complex [HB (3, 5-(CF3) 2Pz) 3] Ag (THF) featuring a highly fluorinated tris
(pyrazolyl) borate ligand catalyzes the formation of aliphatic carbon− halogen bond …

Abstract The copper (I), silver (I), and gold (I) metals bind π‐ligands by σ‐bonding and π‐
back bonding interactions. These interactions were investigated using bidentate ancillary …
