Abstract
This is a review of the published papers that focus on the reactivity of carbonyl complexes of molybdenum in low oxidation states (usually zero or two) and possible applications of molybdenum complexes as precursors of catalysts in different reactions of unsaturated organic substrates such as alkenes and alkynes. The following reactions are analyzed: metathesis, metathesis polymerization, free radical reactions of alkenes, hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydrogermylation, hydrostannation, hydroarylation, asymmetric allylic alkylation, and epoxidation. In addition to the interesting practical aspects of these catalytic reactions, they provide additional insights into molybdenum chemistry.
Keywords: Metathesis, hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydrogermylation, hydrostannation, hydroarylation, asymmetric allylic alkylation, epoxidation, bidentate phosphine ligands, diphenylphosphinomethane (dppm), diphenylphosphinoethane (dppe), diphenylphosphinopropane (dppp), molybdenum carbonyl complexes, hydrostannation reaction

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
