Transition-metal catalysts and biological catalysts don’t always play nicely. In fact, like playground bullies, they can be downright mean, shutting each other down. But now, an international team of ...

It is widely recognized that the Barbier–Grignard-type reaction is one of the most important methods for forming carbon–carbon bonds and has widespread synthetic applications in modern organic ...

Columbia University chemistry professor Jack R. Norton has made a career of catalysis research that spans inorganic and organic chemistry. Much of his work has involved the dynamics of organometallic ...

If you have developed processes to prepare an API, you have certainly come across a number of catalytic reactions using transition metals, and you will have noticed that they can be challenging to ...

Homogeneous nickel catalysis is used for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and polymers. These reactions generally proceed via nickel intermediates in the NiO, NiI, NiII, and/or ...

Reaction mechanisms involving organic and organometallic reactions, with a recent focus on the use of parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) in the study of transition-metal-catalyzed additions of ...
