    Challenging an old paradigm by demonstrating transition metal-like chemistry at a neutral nonmetal center

    We describe nonmetal adducts of the phosphorus center of terminal phosphinidene complexes using classical C- and N-ligands from metal coordination chemistry. The nature of the L-P bond has been analyzed by var...

    Fragmentation and [4 + 3] cycloaddition in sodorifen biosynthesis

    Terpenes constitute the largest class of natural products. Their skeletons are formed by terpene cyclases (TCs) from acyclic oligoprenyl diphosphates through sophisticated enzymatic conversions. These enzyme r...
