Reductive elimination (R.E.) is the opposite or the reverse of oxidative addition (O.A.), in which X-Y oxidatively adds on to Ln Mn+ to give Ln (X)(Y)M(n+2)+. LnM Y (n+2)+ X R.E. O.A. LnM n+ + X Y X and Y ...

Boron hydrides are a class of electron deficient compounds that have unusual bonding behavior and form cages and clusters. The electron deficient BH3 is the simplest boron hydride which exists as a dimer B2 H6 ...

In supercritical fluid chromatography, a supercritical fluid is used as the mobile phase and the stationary phase is usually a thin liquid film which is bonded to the surface of support materials or the capillary column ...

Metal centres of d-block form coordination compounds with ligands which can donate a pair of electrons. These ligands are known as sigma donors or Lewis bases. Some ligands that consist of suitable vacant orbitals ...
