Benefiting from the impressive increase in fundamental knowledge, the last 20 years have
shown a continuous burst of new ideas and consequently a plethora of new catalytic …

In 1994, Ye and McKervey published a paper in Chemical Reviews entitled “Organic
Synthesis with α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds”. 1 Our intention then was to draw attention to …

Transition metal catalysis is of utmost importance for the development of sustainable
processes in academia and industry. The activity and selectivity of metal complexes are …

Radical C–H functionalization represents a useful means of streamlining synthetic routes by
avoiding substrate preactivation and allowing access to target molecules in fewer steps. The …

In this (tutorial overview) perspective we highlight the use of “redox non-innocent” ligands in
catalysis. Two main types of reactivity in which the redox non-innocent ligand is involved can …

Supramolecular catalysis is a rapidly expanding discipline which has benefited from the
development of both homogeneous catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. The properties …

Cyclopropanes bearing contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers continue to attract
attention due to their bioactivities. However, methods to obtain cyclopropanes with …

Metal carbenes usually possess versatile reactivities that are controlled by the presence of
both the metals and the ligands. Diazo compounds are commonly used for the generation of …

The importance of chirality is well recognised, mainly in connection with the fact that nearly
all natural products are chiral and their physiological or pharmacological properties depend …

Organocobalt (III) complexes (R-CoIII), defined as cobalt complexes featuring a carbon–
cobalt bond, are largely used to produce carbon-centered radicals by homolytic cleavage of …
