From Ruthenium to Iron and Manganese—A Mechanistic View on Challenges and Design Principles of Base‐Metal Hydrogenation Catalysts
Thomas Zell,Robert Langer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the challenges that must be tackled in the future to develop more effective and mature catalyst systems and compare the mechanistic information on manganese and iron based hydrogenation catalysts.

Selective Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines and Alcohols Catalyzed by Improved Iron Pincer Complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study on the synthesis, stability, and catalytic activity of various iron pincer complexes with the general formula [(RPNHP)Fe(H) (CO) (BH4)] is reported, where R denotes the substituent of the terminal PR2-groups (R = tBu, Cy, iPr, Ph, Et).

The ABC in pincer chemistry – From amine- to borylene- and carbon-based pincer-ligands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare pincer ligands whose central donor group exhibits a sp3-hybridized atom with those based on boron and carbon, and demonstrate that in contrast to amine donor groups, ligand-stabilized Borylenes are not acting as a proton source and rather undergo a reversible redox-reaction with the coordinated metal centre.

Luminescence in Functionalized Copper Thiolate Clusters – Synthesis and Structural Effects
Robert Langer,Robert Langer,Munendra Yadav,Bastian Weinert,Dieter Fenske,Dieter Fenske,Olaf Fuhr,Olaf Fuhr +7 more
TL;DR: A series of luminescent polynuclear copper(I) phenyl thiolate clusters with functional groups in the organic ligand shell has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as discussed by the authors.

Synthesis, Structures, and Dearomatization by Deprotonation of Iron Complexes Featuring Bipyridine-based PNN Pincer Ligands
Thomas Zell,Robert Langer,Mark A. Iron,Leonid Konstantinovski,Linda J. W. Shimon,Yael Diskin-Posner,Gregory Leitus,Ekambaram Balaraman,Yehoshoa Ben-David,David Milstein +9 more
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of new iron pincer complexes bearing bipyridine-based PNN ligands is reported and the dearomatized nature of the central pyridine of the pincing ligand was established by X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals of 10.
