Abstract. We report the synthesis of two bidentate phosphine ligands functionalized with Lewis acidic pendant groups, namely L1 bearing two BCy2 groups and

Late transition metal imido complexes in more than two oxidation states remain rare, owing to the intrinsic instability of metals in uncommon oxidation states, which typically exhibit strong reducing ...

Hydrogen activation by stable carbenes is rare and typically proceeds through π-face, non-least-motion pathways. Now, a neutral σ0π2 carbene has been synthesized and shown to cleave H2 at room tempera...

A boryl-isodiazomethyl anion featuring a bent eneyne-type B=N–N≡C scaffold is isolated and structurally characterized. The highly nucleophilic boron-bound nitrogen centre makes this species an effecti...

Cleaving a benzene ring under mild conditions requires disrupting its aromaticity, which is a significant challenge in modern chemistry. Although the generation of cyclic products from cleaving benzen...
