Triplet Resting States Govern E / Z Selectivity and Chemoselectivity in Carbene-Pincer Cobalt-Catalyzed Alkyne Semihydrogenation
Rigid, electronically tunable carbene-based pincer ligands constitute a highly promising platform for controlling selectivity in cobalt-catalyzed alkyne semihydrogenation, but the influence of catalyst spin-state characteristics on Z/E selectivity and over-reduction remains poorly understood. Herein, we compare the m...
