Ynamides, when reacted with H2 or HBpin in the presence of [Cp*RuCl]4, convert into chiral-at-metal Fischer carbenes by regioselective gem-hydrogenation or gem-hydroboration of the polarized triple bond, respectively. gem-Hydroboration concomitantly affords a carbogenic borylated stereocenter adjacent to the ruthenium carbene unit, the configuration of which can be controlled using an Evans auxiliary. These are the first examples of asymmetric gem-addition reactions to alkynes known in the literature; representative pianostool ruthenium carbene complexes formed by this unconventional route were characterized by crystallographic and spectroscopic means. They undergo various stoichiometric reactions and can even entertain catalytic asymmetric transformations, such as hydrogenative cyclopropanations or a novel type of borylative cycloisomerization.

Planar hexacoordination is an extremely uncommon phenomenon for the atoms that belong to the main group. Within this article, we have analyzed the potential energy surfaces (PES) of ABeCB (A = N, P, As, Sb, and Bi) clusters in neutral, monocationic, monoanionic, dicationic, and dianionic states using density functional theory (DFT). Among which PBeCB, PBeCB, AsBeCB, AsBeCB, SbBeCB, and BiBeCB clusters contain a planar hexacoordinate boron (phB) atom in the global minimum energy structures with symmetry.

The complete conversion of dinitrogen to ammonia mediated by a side-on N-bound carbene-beryllium complex, [NHC-Be(η-N)] has been studied considering both the symmetric and unsymmetric pathways. -heterocyclic carbenes complexed with Be(η-N) moieties were considered substrates in our study. We found that two mechanistic pathways were possible for the reduction of dinitrogen to form ammonia.

The reversible photoisomerization of azobenzene (AZB) and its derivatives has been applied across various fields. Developing discrete AZB-functionalized organometallic cages is essential for manufacturing functional materials. In this work, we designed and fabricated a series of three-dimensional, hexaazobenzene-terminated poly-NHC-based (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes [M3(A)2](BF4)3 and [M3(B)2](BF4)3 (M = Ag, Au).

The ever-increasing demand in chemical biology and medicinal research requires the development of new synthetic methods for the rapid construction of libraries of heterocycles from simple raw materials. In this context, the utilization of primary amines or HO as the simple - or -sources in the assembly of a heterocyclic ring skeleton is highly desirable from the viewpoint of atom- and step-economy. Herein, we describe a highly efficient three-component reaction of diazo, allylic diacetates, and commercially available anilines (or HO) to access structurally diverse pyrrolidine and tetrahydrofuran derivatives.
