Journal ArticleDOI
Olefin oligomerization via metallacycles: dimerization, trimerization, tetramerization, and beyond.
TL;DR: The influence of N-aryl functionality investigated by Killian et al. shows that the selectivity was mainly dependent upon the steric bulk attached to nitrogen, and less so on the group's basicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Donor-Functionalized Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Palladium(II): Efficient Catalysts for C−C Coupling Reactions
TL;DR: In this article, Heck et al. synthesize PdII complexes of donor-functionalized heterocyclic carbene ligands through a route involving carbene transfer from AgI carbene precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethylene Tetramerization: A New Route to Produce 1-Octene in Exceptionally High Selectivities

TL;DR: An unprecedented ethylene tetramerization reaction that produces 1-octene in selectivities exceeding 70%, using an aluminoxane-activated chromium/((R2)2P)2NR1 catalyst system is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zerovalent palladium and nickel complexes of heterocyclic carbenes: Oxidative addition of organic halides, carbon-carbon coupling processes, and the Heck reaction
TL;DR: In this article, the 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene ligand (tmiy) has been synthesized and the X-ray crystal structures of complexes 8 and 10 reveal square-planar coordination with the carbene ligands inclined at significant angles to the coordi...
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox processes involving hydrocarbylmetal (N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes and associated imidazolium salts: ramifications for catalysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the redox processes undergone by the NHC/imidazolium salt couple in conjunction with Group 10 metals, and show that the reduction of hydrocarbyl-M-carbene complexes yields 2-substituted imidazolate salt and M(0) with factors influencing the reaction reviewed in some detail.
