Organometallic chemistry centres on compounds and reactions in which metal–carbon bonds enable unique pathways for bond formation, catalysis and molecular activation. Building on early discoveries ...

Palladium-catalysed bond activation lies at the heart of modern organometallic chemistry, enabling the selective cleavage and formation of C–X (X = C, H, heteroatom) bonds under mild conditions.

When it comes to metal catalysis, chemists have learned time and again that every component of a reaction matters, no matter how insignificant it might seem. Sometimes, it’s those trace ingredients ...
