Cobalt (Co) is a highly “versatile” catalytic metal: it offers rich redox chemistry, can operate via both two-electron mechanisms and single-electron/radical pathways, and spans multiple application scenarios including homogeneous organic synthesis, energy electrocatalysis, and heterogeneous ...
A highly effective nickel-catalyzed process enables the direct reductive cross-coupling of equimolar quantities of alkyl and aryl halides in the presence of manganese, demonstrating excellent yield, functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity. This transformation bypasses the ...
