“Rollover” cyclometalation constitutes a special case among the well-known class of
cyclometalation reactions. An overview is given that covers the very first description of this …

Nitrogen (N 2) fixation is a challenging task for chemists. Adsorption of N 2 on transition
metal (TM) sites has been identified as a prerequisite for activating the very stable N≡ N …

The reactions of water with the coordinatively unsaturated group 10 organometallic cations
[(L) M (R)]+(4; where L= 1, 10-phenanthroline (phen), neocuproine (neo); M= nickel …

Gas-phase organoactinyl complexes possessing discrete An–C bonds (An= U, Np, Pu) were
synthesized in a quadrupole ion trap by endothermic decarboxylation of [AnO2 (O2C–R) 3] …

Copper-mediated allylic substitution reactions are widely used in organic synthesis,
whereas the analogous reactions for silver and gold are essentially unknown. To unravel …

There are three metal-mediated ligand decomposition reactions that give rise to
organometallics:(i) decarboxylation of a metal carboxylate,“the Pesci reaction”;(ii) …

Abstract The complex [Pd (O, N, C‐L)(OAc)], in which L is a monoanionic pincer ligand
derived from 2, 6‐diacetylpyridine, reacts with 2‐iodobenzoic acid at room temperature to …

The gas-phase protodecarboxylation of acetic acid catalyzed by group 10 metal complexes
was examined using a combination of multistage mass spectrometry experiments in an ion …

Gas-phase cationic ternary complexes of group 10 metals of the formula [(phen) M (X)]+,
where phen= 1, 10-phenanthroline (M= Ni, Pd, or Pt; and X= H or CH3), react with …

Gas-phase carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, catalyzed by group 10 metal acetate
cations [(phen) M (O2CCH3)]+(where M= Ni, Pd or Pt) formed via electrospray ionization of …
