A polarized Au(I)/Pt(0) complex with only two phosphines unlocks cooperative reactivity that is inaccessible for previous Au/Pt saturated systems. Selective C<span class='icomoon'></span>X activation of halopyridines occurs via...

In the coordination chemistry of heavier tetrylenes (:ER2, where E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), chelating P,N-donor ligands occupy a privileged position, though phosphinoamido ligands, [R2P–NR′]−, have been bar...

Single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity of [LAu(C2H4/CO)][BArF4] [L = tris-2-(4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl)phosphine] with NH3 or 15NH3 gives the ammonia complexes [LAu(NH3/15NH3)][BArF4]....

Gold(I) carbenes, defined as [LAu═CR2]+, are key intermediates in catalysis. Their isolation is challenging due to the high electrophilic character of the carbene that cannot be tempered solely by π-b...

The chemistry of precious-metal-based open-shell mononuclear complexes remains underdeveloped. Now it has been shown that iridium metalloradicals enable Ir(II)/Ir(IV) redox cycles and catalyse olefin ...
