Mechanistic work on the olefin metathesis reaction by well-characterized ruthenium carbene complexes led to the rational design and synthesis of a modified, unsymmetrical “first-generation” catalyst,
A series of all-inorganic, abundant-metal-based, high-nuclearity cobalt–phosphate (Co–Pi) molecular catalysts [{Co4(OH)3(PO4)}4(SiW9O34)4]32– (1), [{Co4(OH)3(PO4)}4(GeW9O34)4]32– (2), [{Co4(O
Proteins and enzymes generally achieve their functions by creating well-defined 3D architectures that pre-organize reactive functionalities. Mimicking this approach to supramolecular pre-organization
A new series of cationic zirconium amidinates, [(η5-C5Me5)ZrMe{N(Et)C(R3)N(tBu)}][B(C6F5)4] (R3 = Me, H, Ph, and tBu) (1a−d), were synthesized and their ability to function as initiators for the stere
The increasing impact of fossil fuel consumption on climate change has highlighted the urgent need for sustainable energy alternatives, including converting biomass into valuable chemicals. Levulinic
