The discovery of new catalytic reactions involving the use of abundant, inexpensive
and sustainable metal complexes has enjoyed a resurgence of activities in recent years.
This Cluster, Part I of a two-part series, focuses on new research findings from several
prominent research groups, highlighting the rich diversities of new chemistry that
can be originated from the use of sustainable metals in catalytic reactions.
