More Information

Researchers continually push the boundaries of molecular construction, particularly with catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Historically precious metal-based catalysts have been utilized in these transformations; however, the use of first-row transition-metal catalysts has been on the rise. These metals are abundant, versatile, catalytically active, and are attractive for industrial applications where cost and sustainability are driving factors. These articles contain recent innovations in first-row transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
