A Change in C–H Activation Mechanism: Experimental and Computational Investigations of Rh-Catalyzed Disubstituted Benzene Functionalization We report the ethenylation of 1,3- and 1,2-disubstituted benzenes using [(η2-C2H4)2Rh(μ-OAc)]2 as a catalyst precursor and Cu(OPiv)2 as the oxidant. The regioselectivity of alkenylation for 1,3-disubs...

Catalytic H/D Exchange of (Hetero)arenes with Early-Late Polyhydride Heterobimetallic Complexes: Impact of Transition Metal Pairs Metal-catalyzed hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) has become a valuable method for incorporating deuterium and tritium into organic molecules, with applications in a wide range of scientific fields. Thi...

Our first article for 2025 just came out in @daltontrans.bsky.social
We demonstrate that pairing iridium or osmium hydrides with hafnium can boost C-H activation performances for catalytic H/D exchange in heteroarenes!
