Advances in Oxidatively-Induced Bond Formation
June 18, 2024
Marcus Drover's group has recently published a notable paper in Chemical Science, exploring how ligands impact the reactivity of transition metal complexes. By inducing strain in an iron "tucked-in" complex through one-electron removal, their study reveals rapid carbon-carbon bond formation and subsequent dimerization. These findings underscore the critical role of metal-carbon strain and oxidation states in fundamental mechanisms of C-C bond formation.
