The fields of theoretical and computational chemistry have come a long way since their
inception in the mid-20th century. Fifty years ago, only rudimentary approximations for very …

Three-and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have
fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations …

In this critical review the reactivity patterns observed with different types of diyne substrates
in gold catalysis are discussed. Apart from the many examples from homogeneous catalysis …

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 …

Homogeneous gold-catalyzed cyclopropanation has emerged as a powerful method in
organic synthesis due to its rich chemistry and fascinating reactivity. This thriving strategy is …

Over the last two decades, electrophilic catalysis relying on platinum (II), gold (I), and gold
