Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue, “Exclusive Papers of the Editorial Board Members and Topical Advisory Panel Members of Catalysts in Section "Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry"”. This will be a collection of papers edited by the editorial board members of the Section “Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry.” The issue will covers papers with a wide scope in the field of homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and polymer chemistry, including such topics as sustainable polymers (prepared by coordination polymerization, ring opening polymerization), polyolefin synthesis, chemical recycling (conversion to monomers) and upcycling (conversion to upgraded chemicals, polymers), biobased polymers, and related catalysis chemistry. Topics related to the design of molecular catalysis, including mechanistic studies, which are at the core of homogeneous catalysis, will be highly welcome to this Special Issue.

We look forward to receiving many outstanding submissions on the topics above, which will contribute to the creation of an important Special Issue in this journal.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Expression of Reaction Selectivity and the Substituent Effect in Ullmann, Suzuki, Hiyama, and Allylic Arylation Reactions Caused by Reducing Catalyst Loading

and

Abstract

The control of stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity in transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions is a key topic in organic synthesis. Several methods for controlling selectivity have been reported thus far. On the other hand, the reduction of catalyst loading during reactions is one of the most important issues in organic synthesis from the standpoint of green sustainable chemistry. As another advantage of reducing catalyst loading, the expression of reaction selectivity and the substituent effect caused by the reduction of catalyst loading to the parts-per-million (ppm) level in various catalytic reactions is presented herein.

Abstract

The scope of Rh-catalyzed C–C bond cleavage/annulation of biphenylene with various aromatic nitriles was studied. The subsequent Rh- and Ir-catalyzed C–H bond activation/annulation sequence of the formed 9-arylphenanthridines with alkynes gave rise to cationic [4], [5], [6] helical quinolizinium salts. The scope of the reaction with respect to the structural features of the starting 9-arylphenanthridines and alkynes was studied. Their helical arrangement was confirmed through single-crystal X-ray analyses of selected compounds. Most of the prepared quinolizinium salts exhibited fluorescence emission maxima in the region of 525–623 nm with absolute quantum yields up to 25%. Full article

Abstract

We present an overview of fundamental catalytic reactions of nucleophiles with π-systems in relation to gold chemistry. We present examples of reactions with gold-activated π-systems, alkynyl or allenyl moieties, and the regulation of their reactivity due to the presence of an electron-donating or -withdrawing group. The reactions describe furnished hard-to-reach heterocyclic building blocks for medicinal chemistry purposes. Important gold(I) or gold(III) complexes that are used as catalysts are presented. We examine the activation of such π-systems using gold(I) or gold(III) catalysts and the corresponding divergent catalytic transformations. We provide examples of divergent catalysis using gold(I) catalyst and other metal catalysts (Pt, Ag, Pd, Rh, Sc, Cu) or by changing the ligands in gold(I) catalyst complexes. We also discuss the role of the solvent, counterions and additives in gold(I)-catalyzed reactions. We mention, in a few cases, characteristic experimental or computational studies of these gold-catalyzed reactions of nucleophiles with π-systems. Full article
