Hydroformylation of 1-Octene Mediated by the Cobalt Complex [CoH(dchpf)(CO)2]

Core–shell Co@CoO catalysts for the hydroformylation of olefins

Co@CoO core–shell nanoparticles featured as metal Co(0) cores wrapped by CoO shells were constructed via a solvent-thermal process in deep eutectic solvents and showed superior activity and stability for the hydroformylation of olefins.

Valorisation of mixtures of linear alkenes using cobalt-mediated isomerisation and hydroformylation chemistries

Active catalysts derived from cobalt and the Xantphos ligand were synthesised, characterised and tested in the hydroformylation of pure linear alkenes or their mixtures.

A Selective and General Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydroaminomethylation of Olefins to Amines

A new cobalt catalyst is presented for the domino hydroformylation-reductive amination reaction of olefins. The optimal Co-tert-BuPy-Xantphos catalyst shows good to excellent linear-to-branched (n/iso) regioselectivity for the reactions of aliphatic alkenes with aromatic amines under mild conditions. This system is far more selective than traditional cobalt(I) catalysts and even better than most known rhodium catalysts.

Computational investigation of the ligand effect on the chemo/regioselectivity and reactivity of cobalt-catalysed hydroformylation

The ligand effect on the chemo/regioselectivity and reactivity of cobalt-catalysed hydroformylation has been discussed.

Beyond Common Metal-Metal Bonds, κ3 -Bis(donor)ferrocenyl→Transition-Metal Interactions

Ligands with 1,1'-bis(donor)ferrocene motif are capable of a wide range of binding modes, including the trans chelation mode in which there is a Fe-M interaction (κ³ -D,Fe,D), in the form of a dative Fe→TM bond (TM=transition metal). This Minireview will explore the nature of this Fe-TM interaction thorough select examples as well as how to characterize a Fe→TM dative bond using physical, computational, and spectroscopic techniques.
