Organometallic gold(III) compounds as catalysts for the addition of water and methanol to terminal alkynes.
TL;DR: Different inorganic and organometallic gold(III) and gold(I) complexes have been tested in the addition of water and methanol to terminal alkynes and some intermediates could be detected in the stoichiometric reaction between [Au(C(6)F(5))(2)Cl]-2 and phenylacetylene.

Water-soluble IrIII N-heterocyclic carbene based catalysts for the reduction of CO2 to formate by transfer hydrogenation and the deuteration of aryl amines in water.
TL;DR: Two new water-soluble [IrI(2)(AcO)(bis-NHC)] complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) incorporating a sulfonate functionality have been synthesized and have shown very good activity in the selective deuteration of arylamines.

Homogenous catalysis with gold : Efficient hydration of phenylacetylene in aqueous media
TL;DR: A variety of gold(I) complexes containing the water-soluble phosphine ligands TPPMS, TPPDS, and TPPTS were tested as catalysts for the hydration of phenylacetylene in aqueous media as discussed by the authors.

A New Approach to the Reduction of Carbon Dioxide: CO2 Reduction to Formate by Transfer Hydrogenation in iPrOH
TL;DR: A series of four Ir and Ru catalysts have been tested in the reduction of CO2 to formate in the presence of H2, achieving high TON values of up to 1800 TON as mentioned in this paper.

Sulfonate-Functionalized NHC-Based Ruthenium Catalysts for the Isomerization of Allylic Alcohols in Water. Recyclability Studies
TL;DR: In this paper, two new complexes of the type [Ru(CO3)(η6-arene)(NHC)]Cs, in which the NHC ligand incorporates a sulfonate functionality, have been prepared and fully characterized.
