Book excerpt: "Transition metal catalysis has revolutionized modern synthetic methodology by enabling the facile activation and generation of sp2 and sp3 (hetero)carbon bonds. Thus, organometallic complexes are ubiquitous in the production of commodity chemicals, synthetic building blocks, and polymers. Although transition metal catalysis has been broadly used, there is still room for improvement in its efficiency, sustainability, and applicability. To this extent this dissertation will focus on employing different strategies to address these challenges. Chapter 2 will discuss the implementation of an electrocatalytic system for the metal catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and amines using benzoquinones as regenerable hydrogen acceptors. Chapter 3 will illustrate the design and development of a novel bisoxazoline-pincer ligated cobalt complex and its catalytic ability to hydrogenate alkenes, followed by discussion of exploratory work of this scaffold's early transition metal analogs and potential further catalytic reactivity. Lastly, chapter 4 will examine a set of trispyrazoylborate metal complexes for their capacity to perform direct arene borylation and compare the resulting reactivity to their heavily studied isoelectronic cyclopentamethyldienyl iridium counterparts. Analysis of the reaction reveals formation of nanoparticles leading to further characterization via XRD and TEM imaging."--Page x.
