Electrophilic Activation of Alkenes by Platinum(II): So Much More Than a Slow Version of Palladium(II)

The electrophilic activation of alkenes by transition-metal catalysts is a fundamental step in a rapidly growing number of catalytic processes. Although palladium is the best known metal for this purpose, the special properties of its third-row cousin platinum (strong metal-ligand bonds and slow sub... View More
