Methyl Complexes of the Transition Metals
Organometallic chemistry can be considered as a wide area of knowledge that combines concepts of classic organic chemistry, that is, based essentially on carbon, with molecular inorganic chemistry, especially with coordination compounds. Transition-metal methyl complexes probably represent the simplest and most fundamental way to view how these two major areas of chemistry combine and merge into novel species with intriguing features in terms of reactivity, structure, and bonding. Citing more than 500 bibliographic references, this review aims to offer a concise view of recent advances in the field of transition-metal complexes containing M-CH fragments. Taking into account the impressive amount of data that are continuously provided by organometallic chemists in this area, this review is mainly focused on results of the last five years. After a panoramic overview on M-CH compounds of Groups 3 to 11, which includes the most recent landmark findings in this area, two further sections are dedicated to methyl-bridged complexes and reactivity.Ministerio de Ciencia e InnovaciĂłn Projects CTQ2010â15833, CTQ2013-45011 - P and Consolider - Ingenio 2010 CSD2007 - 00006Junta de AndalucĂa FQM - 119, Projects P09 - FQM - 5117 and FQM - 2126EU 7th Framework Program, Marie SkĆodowska - Curie actions C OFUND â Agreement nÂș 26722
New chemistry with anionic NNN pincer ligands
The use of tridentate anionic pincer ligands in organometallic chemistry has gained considerable importance, particularly in the field of homogenous catalysis. This chapter focuses on the recent developments of anionic tridentate NNN pincer ligands from their synthesis to coordination chemistry and their applications in forming stable transition metal complexes for applications in catalytic transformations
