Recent Developments in the Field of Air‐Stable Nickel(0) Precatalysts for Cross‐Coupling Reactions
The development of bench‐stable Ni(0) sources aims to replace air‐sensitive [Ni(COD)2] (cod = cycloocta‐1,5‐diene) with easy‐to‐handle alternatives. Through a targeted ligand design, using electron‐deficient dienes, carbenes, and fluorophosphines, researchers have achieved air‐ and moisture‐tolerant complexes that show high catalytic activity in cross ...

Bradley—first in his 1959/1969 book on Bradley, and later in his 1993 collection of essays, The Mind and its Depths—and to connect them to Wollheim's own account of a dynamic moral psychology, as detailed in The Thread of Life ...
