Mechanochemical upcycling of bio- and fossil-based polyesters with alcohols and amines using MeONa as the catalyst selectively produces synthetically useful diesters and diamides, giving only alcohol...

The coordination of α-methyl-β-amidoitaconate at Rh(I) diphosphine complexes is studied using a combination of high-field and low-field flow NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. In the presence of ba...

A systematic study is presented of the coordination chemistry of imidazolylphosphine-based PN(H)N pincer ligands at Rh, Ir, and Ru centers. The corresponding cationic complexes are active catalysts f....

Phosphaalkkenes are an underrepresented class of phosphorus-based ligands that hold great potential for the stabilisation of low-valent transition metal and main group fragments. We present the synthe...

The challenge of producing new environmentally friendly and fossil-free polyesters has strongly encouraged the development of bio-based alternatives such as poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) and polybuty...

The dinuclear title compound [(Cp2Zr)2(µ-Me)(µ-C2Ph)] 5 was prepared from a zirconocene alkynyl methyl complex and Rosenthal’s zirconocene source [Cp2Zr(py)(h2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)] in a formal comproportio....

Starting from the alkyne complex Cp2Zr(py)(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (Cp = η5-cyclopentadienyl, py = pyridine), the synthesis and complete characterisation of a zirconocene(iv) triazenido hydride complex and i...

This review summarises developments in the field of dehydrocoupling and dehydropolymerisation of amine boranes, as well as transfer hydrogenation using amine-boranes as reagents, catalysed by complex....
