Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) has been phenomenally successful in the field of organic synthesis in recent years. The reaction allows the construction of a wide range of ring sizes and is compatible ...

Some transition-metal catalysts control organic reactions so that, given a choice of two mirror-image products, only one forms. The metal atom in these catalysts has been ignored as a source of ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka report a new class of transition metal complexes with direct nickel-boron bonds without additional support Osaka, Japan – The arrangement of small molecules – ...
