Experimental results have long suggested that catalyst optimization is an inherently multivariate process, requiring the screening of reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, solvents, precursors,
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
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
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
