It is a colourless liquid used in precious metal-catalysed hydrosilylation reactions.

In chemistry, metal-catalysed hydroboration is a reaction used in organic synthesis.

Alcohols can be temporarily converted into carbonyl compounds by the metal-catalysed removal of hydrogen.

Another research subtheme is metal-catalysed hydroboration.

The economic benefits of metal-catalysed carbonylations, e.g. Reppe chemistry and hydroformylation, led to growth of the area.

Her research interests remained in the field of transition metal-catalysed organic syntheses, especially reactions that lead to the formation of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds.

Late metal derivatives (Co, Ni) are intermediates in the metal-catalysed trimerization of alkynes to arenes.

It hydrogenates alkenes and alkynes with selective delivery of hydrogen from one face of the substrate resulting in the same stereoselectivty as metal-catalysed syn addition of H.

The afternoon session began with a lecture by Professor Brian Heaton (Liverpool), on how the mechanisms of certain important metal-catalysed industrial processes are now being understood using modern spectroscopic techniques.

Maier, K., Hinze, H. and Holzer, H. Inactivation of enzymes and enzyme inhibitor by oxidative modification with chlorinated amines and metal-catalysed oxidation systems.

The benefits of using microwaves to accelerate the rates of hydrogen isotope exchange reactions are illustrated by reference to heterogeneous and homogeneous metal-catalysed reactions as well as to homogeneous acid-catalysed reactions.

The first use of a non-biaryl atropisomer as a chiral ligand for a metal-catalysed asymmetric reaction: using 13 as a ligand for palladium allows the catalysis of allylic substitutions with 90% ee (publication 32).
