The potential advantages of using arylboronic esters as boron sources in C-H borylation are discussed. The concept is showcased using commercially available 2-mercaptopyridine as a metal-free catalyst for the transfer borylation of heteroarenes using arylboronates as borylation agents. The catalysis

Iron(II) tris(2-pyridylthio)methanido (1) containing an Fe-C bond, obtained from the reaction of tris(2-pyridylthio)methane (HL(1)) and iron(II) triflate, reacts with protic acid to generate iron(II) bis(2-pyridylthio)carbene (1a). The carbene complex is converted to an iron(II) complex (2) of the 1-[bis(2-pyridylthio)methyl]pyridine-2-thione ligand

A silver-free route has been employed for the synthesis of a number of Pd and Pt complexes supported by an NCN "pincer" ligand (NCN = [2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]-) via halide abstraction. This was achieved by the use of o-, m-, and p-hydroxypyridines
