Chemists can easily convert diazo compounds to carbenes or metal carbenes, which can then go on to participate in a wide range of powerful insertion chemistry. But diazo compounds can also explode ...

Iron can undergo facile changes in its oxidation state and possesses a distinct Lewis acid character. These properties have afforded iron a privileged position as a catalyst in the transformations of ...

The polymerisation and synthesis of diazo compounds have rapidly emerged as a vibrant area of research in modern polymer chemistry. These compounds, characterised by their –N₂ functionality, serve as ...

The class of nitrogen-containing molecules called diazo compounds has revealed a hidden talent: coupling with certain diazo partners to form carbon-carbon double bonds (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., DOI: ...

Catalysis can be used to enhance the reactivity and selectivity of specific chemical transformations and decrease the amount of energy consumed by these processes. Most catalytic reactions fulfill the ...
