TL;DR: In this paper, a photo-induced catalyst system based on copper, an Earth-abundant metal, was proposed for asymmetric N-alkylation with non-activated racemic alkyl electrophiles.

TL;DR: Electronic structure, spin-state, and geometrical relationships for a series of pseudotetrahedral Co(II) aryloxide, siloxide, aryLthiolate, and silylthiolates complexes supported by the tris(phosphino)borate ligands and their ligands ([PhBP(3)] and [Ph BP(i)()(Pr)(3)] ([PhB(CH(2)PPh(2))

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that a wide array of phenols and aryl iodides can be coupled to generate diaryl ethers under mild conditions in the presence of a variety of functional groups.

TL;DR: Maintenance of a pseudotetrahedral geometry that is midway between a square plane and an ideal tetrahedron at the copper centers, along with a high degree of flexibility at the phosphide hinges, allows for efficient access to CuICuI, Cu1.5Cu 1.5, and CuIICuII redox states without the need for ligand exchange, substitution, or redistribution processes.

TL;DR: It is established that a variety of electrophiles and a trifluoromethylthiolate nucleophile can add across an array of olefins in the presence of CuI/binap and blue-LED irradiation, thereby generating triflaminghyl thioethers in good yield.
