Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing demand for drug design approaches that incorporate a higher number of sp3-hybridized carbons, necessitating the development of innovative cross-coupling strategies to reliably introduce aliphatic fragments. Here, we present a powerful approach for the light-mediated B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between alkyl boranes and aryl bromides. Alkyl boranes were easily generated via hydroboration from readily available alkenes, exhibiting excellent regioselectivity and enabling the selective transfer of a diverse range of primary alkyl fragments onto the arene ring under photocatalytic conditions. This methodology eliminates the need for expensive catalytic systems and sensitive organometallic compounds, operating efficiently at room temperature within just 30 min. We further demonstrate the translation of the present protocol to continuous-flow conditions, enhancing scalability, safety, and overall efficiency of the method. This versatile approach offers significant potential for accelerating drug discovery efforts by enabling the introduction of complex aliphatic fragments in a straightforward and reliable manner.

Abstract
Organometallic catalysts have played a key role in accomplishing numerous synthetically valuable organic transformations that are either otherwise not possible or inefficient. The use of precious, sparse and toxic 4d and 5d metals are an apparent downside of several such catalytic systems despite their immense success over the last several decades. The use of complexes containing Earth-abundant, inexpensive and less hazardous 3d metals, such as nickel, as catalysts for organic transformations has been an emerging field in recent times. In particular, the versatile nature of the corresponding pincer-metal complexes, which offers great control of their reactivity via countless variations, has garnered great interest among organometallic chemists who are looking for greener and cheaper alternatives. In this context, the current review attempts to provide a glimpse of recent developments in the chemistry of pincer-nickel catalyzed reactions. Notably, there have been examples of pincer-nickel catalyzed reactions involving two electron changes via purely organometallic mechanisms that are strikingly similar to those observed with heavier Pd and Pt analogues. On the other hand, there have been distinct differences where the pincer-nickel complexes catalyze single-electron radical reactions. The applicability of pincer-nickel complexes in catalyzing cross-coupling reactions, oxidation reactions, (de)hydrogenation reactions, dehydrogenative coupling, hydrosilylation, hydroboration, C-H activation and carbon dioxide functionalization has been reviewed here from synthesis and mechanistic points of view. The flurry of global pincer-nickel related activities offer promising avenues in catalyzing synthetically valuable organic transformations.

Abstract
Ligand development plays an essential role in the advance of homogeneous catalysis. Tridentate, meridionally coordinating ligands, commonly termed pincer ligands, have been established as a privileged class of ligands in catalysis because they confer high stability while maintaining electronic tenability to the resulting metal complexes. Pincer ligands containing "soft" donors such as phosphines are typically used for late transition-metal ions, which are considered "soft" acids. Driven by our interest to develop base-metal catalysis and in view of the "hard" character of base-metal ions, our group explored a pincer ligand containing only "hard" nitrogen donors. A prototypical nickel complex of this ligand, "Nickamine", turned out to be an efficient catalyst in a wide range of organic reactions. Because of its propensity to mediate single-electron redox chemistry, Nickamine is particularly suited to catalyze cross-coupling of nonactivated alkyl halides through radical pathways. These coupling partners have been challenging substrates for traditional, palladium-based catalysts because of difficult oxidative addition and nonproductive β-H elimination. The high activity of Nickamine for cross-coupling leads to high chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance, even when reactive Grignard reagents are employed as nucleophiles. The scope of the catalysis is broad and encompasses sp3-sp3, sp3-sp2, and sp3-sp cross-coupling. The defined nature of Nickamine facilitated the mechanistic study of cross-coupling reactions. Experiments involving radical-probe substrates, presumed intermediates and dormant species, kinetics, and density functional theory computations revealed a bimetallic oxidative addition pathway. In this pathway, two Ni centers each provide one electron to support the two-electron activation of an alkyl halide substrate. The success of Nickamine motivated our systematic structure-activity studies aiming at improved activity in certain reactions through ligand modification. Indeed, better catalysts have been developed for cross-coupling of secondary alkyl halides as well as direct alkynylation of alkyl halides. The improvement is attributed to a more accessible Ni center in the new catalysts than in Nickamine. Surprisingly, the improvement could be obtained simply by replacing a dimethyl amino group in Nickamine with a pyrrolidino group. During the study of the catalytic cycle of Nickamine in cross-coupling reactions, we synthesized the corresponding Ni-H species. Consequently, we explored the catalytic application of Nickamine in Ni-H mediated reactions, such as hydrosilylation. To our delight, Nickamine is a chemoselective catalyst for hydrosilylation of alkenes while tolerating a reactive C=O group. An analogous Ni pincer complex was found to catalyze unusual hydrosilylation reactions using alkoxy hydrosilanes as surrogates of gaseous silanes.

Abstract
First representatives of a new family of isoquinolines, so called boroisoquinolines, were synthesized and characterized. The synthesis was based on the insertion of the difluoroboranyl group into the 1-methylidene-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline core. The optimization of the 2-difluoroboranyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1(2H)-ylidene core led to efficient fluorescence in a range of 400-600 nm with outstanding (>100 nm) Stokes shifts. The compounds might be suitable for reversible or irreversible labelling of proteins, particularly the cannabinoid receptor CB2.

Abstract
In this work, three different types of acetylacetonato-based pincer-type nickel(ii) complexes (2) were prepared. Complex 2a possessed the tridentate ONN ligand, which was constructed by the condensation reaction of acetylacetone with N,N-diethylethylenediamine. Complex 2b contained the PPh2 donor group in contrast to the NEt2 group in 2a, i.e., an ONP ligand framework. Complex 2c was composed of the NNN ligand, which was prepared by the reaction of 4-((2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amino)pent-3-en-2-one with N,N-diethylethylenediamine. In addition to X-ray diffraction analysis, these complexes were characterized spectroscopically. Their catalytic activity for a cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with aryl Grignard reagents was also evaluated. Among these complexes, 2b acted as an effective catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction using aryl chlorides as electrophiles. The electronic properties of these Ni(ii) complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory calculations.
