complexes bearing a PNP-pincer ligand have a higher catalytic activity than the so far reported molybdenum–dinitrogen complexes for ammonia formation from nitrogen gas under ambient reaction conditions, up to 830 equiv being produced based on a dinitrogen-bridged dimolybdenum complex (415 equiv of ammonia based on the molybdenum atom). This remarkable catalytic activity is induced by a novel reaction pathway
of stacking), stacks of pancake-bonded dimers, isolated pancake-bonded dimers, and mixed stacks comprising DDQ radicals and aromatic cations. General features of pancake bonding of DDQ radicals are defined: parallel ring planes, offset along the carbonyl···carbonyl axis by 2.05–2.15 Å, and interplanar separations of 2.90–2.95 Å (for pancake-bonded dimers) or 3.08–3.24 Å (for regular stacks of equidistant
We demonstrate hydrohalogenation of aliphatic alkenes with collidine·HX salts through dualphotoredox/cobalt catalysis. The dualcatalysis enables conversion of a proton and a halide anion from collidine·HX salt to a nucleophilic hydrogen radical equivalent and an electrophilic halogen radical equivalent and delivery of them to an alkene moiety. This protocol allows for introduction of fluorine, chlorine
