Catalytic Reduction of Dinitrogen to Ammonia at a Single Molybdenum Center

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the catalytic reduction of dinitrogen by molybdenum complexes that contain the [HIPTN3N]3- ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molybdenum and tungsten imido alkylidene complexes as efficient olefin-metathesis catalysts.

TL;DR: In this review key observations that resulted in the discovery and development of molybdenum- and tungsten-based metathesis catalysts are outlined and the use of chiral molyBdenum complexes for enantioselective synthesis is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of molybdenum imido alkylidene complexes and some reactions involving acyclic olefins

TL;DR: In this paper, a precursor to imido alkylidene complexes that is related to 2 has been prepared by the sequence MoO{sub 2} {yields} MoO(NAr)Cl{sub 3} (dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) and Me{ sub 3}SiNHAr (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) yields Mo(C-t-Bu)(NHAr), which upon treatment with a catalytic amount of NEt-sub 3] is transformed into
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Metal–Carbon Bonds for Catalytic Metathesis Reactions (Nobel Lecture)

TL;DR: The story begins thirty two years ago in 1973, the year the Nobel Prize was shared by G. Wilkinson and E. O. Fischer, and the nature of a single bond between a transition metal and a carbon atom in an alkyl group is concerned.
