An N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complex system was found to be a very efficient catalyst for the methylation of ketone via a hydrogen transfer reaction. Mild conditions together with low catalyst loading (1 mol %) were used for a tandem process which involves the dehydrogenation of methanol, C=C bond formation with a ketone, and hydrogenation of the new generated double bond by iridium hydride to give the alkylated product. Using this iridium catalyst system, a number of branched ketones were synthesized with good to excellent conversions and yields.

Herein, the synthesis of branched α,β-unsaturated amides by a hydroaminocarbonylation reaction of alkynes with various amine substrates such as aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, solid amine sources like NHHCO, and even strongly basic piperidines is reported, using a Pd(OAc)/hybrid N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine-phosphine (CPP) catalytic system. The reactions feature no additives, wide substrate scope, high selectivity (b/l > 99 : 1) and excellent yields. Mechanistic studies have disclosed that the reaction takes place a palladium hydride pathway.

Phosphine coordinated copper(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes have emerged as an efficient material in catalysis and light-emitting applications. In this study, a gentle and sustainable approach to the copper(I)-carbene phosphine complexes is reported through an efficient C=Se activation protocol. The complexes [(Py^NHC)Cu(PPh ) ]X, X=BF (1), ClO (2), PF (3) and OTf (4); Py^NHC=3-isopropyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-imidazol-2-ylidene, and [(Py^NHC)Cu(PPh )(X)], X=Br (5) and I (6) have been synthesized by treating 1-isopropyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-imidazole-2-selone with corresponding copper(I) precursors and triphenylphosphine.

The chemistry of discrete molecular chains constituted by metals in low oxidation states, displaying metal-metal proximity and stabilized by suitable metal-bridging, assembling ligands comprising at least one soft donor atom is comprehensively reviewed; complexes with a single (hard or soft) bridging atom (., μ-halide, μ-sulfide, or μ-PR .) as well as "closed" metal arrays (that fall in the realm of cluster chemistry) are excluded.

Metal hydride complexes are key intermediates for N-alkylation of amines with alcohols by the borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (BH/HA) strategy. Reactivity tuning of metal hydride complexes could adjust the dehydrogenation of alcohols and the hydrogenation of imines. Herein we report ruthenium(ii) complexes with hetero-bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-phosphine ligands, which realize smart pathway selection in the N-alkylated reaction via reactivity tuning of [Ru-H] species by hetero-bidentate ligands.

The combination of supported ionic liquids and immobilized NHC-Pd-RuPhos led to active and more stable systems for the Negishi reaction under continuous flow conditions than those solely based on NHC-Pd-RuPhos. The fine tuning of the NHC-Pd catalyst and the SILLPs is a key factor for the optimization of the release and catch mechanism leading to a catalytic system easily recoverable and reusable for a large number of catalytic cycles enhancing the long-term catalytic performance.
