Transition metals exchange electrons with supporting ligands to form complexes that facilitate reaction catalysis in several industries, like pharmaceutical production. Both the metal center and the ...
Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...
Skeletons I-V containing three or four coplanar M–C σ bonds are shown on the left. The two skeletons with five coplanar M–C σ bonds are placed on the right. Art by Dafa Chen. This study is led by Dr.
