The synthesis of amines through N-alkylation is particularly attractive.

An exceptional achiral and chiral multilayer 3D polymer has been created and controlled by uniform and distinct aromatic chromophore units that are multiply sandwiched by naphthyl berths.

[Pt(TAG-κC,κN)(acac)] (TAG = triarylguanidinate(1−) ligands) were isolated and fully characterized. These complexes are bluish green light emitters and the origin of absorption/emission in selected complexes were studied by TD-DFT calculations.

Selenosalicylic acid was synthesised by reacting 2-carboxybenzenediazonium chloride with Na₂Se₂ followed by reduction of the resulting diselenide with zinc and acetic acid. The deprotonated acid reacted with metal precursors to form selenosalicylate complexes.

Interfacial Lewis acid–base pairs are commonly found in ZrO₂-supported metal catalysts due to the facile generation of oxygen vacancies of ZrO₂.

New ethylene-bridged N-heterocyclic carbene ligand systems and their respective transition metal complexes are characterized and the electronic properties are discussed.

The steric and electronic effects of specific ligands can play crucial roles in stabilizing unsaturated tetrylene species.

Active metal template synthesis of an enyne-based rotaxane and catenane.

The manganese(II) complex [Mn(^iPrPNP)Cl₂] (^iPrPNP = 2,6-bis(diisopropylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) was found to catalyze the stereo- and regioselective hydroboration of terminal alkynes employing HBPin (pinacolborane).

The step-economical synthesis of C2, C3-unsubstituted 1-aminoindole derivatives through rhodium-catalyzed annulation of hydrazines with vinylene carbonate.

Novel multifunctional one-component catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO₂ to epoxides. The selective and effective conversion of substrates to cyclic carbonates possible using 0.01 mol% catalyst and a low CO₂ pressure.

Three palladium(II) complexes bearing galactopyranoside-based NHC ligands have been synthesized. Catalytic studies reveal that the complexes are active and reusable.

This work focuses on two new thermodynamic parameters of pre-aromatic and aromatic N-heterocycles to offer a precise insight into their chemical hydrogen storage and hydrogenation reactions.

The binuclear azido terpyridine Pd(II) complex underwent the catalyst-free cycloaddition coupling with alkyne affording triazolate analogues. The coordination mode of the triazolate ring was assigned with the aid of quantum chemical calculations.

Pd-PYA complexes as carbon dioxide reduction catalysts.

A convenient synthesis of enantiopure mixed donor phosphine–phosphite ligands has been developed incorporating P-stereogenic phosphanorbornane and axially chiral bisnaphthols into one ligand structure.
