“…Mainly, the current state‐of‐the‐art manganese catalysts established by the studies of Milstein, Beller,,, Kempe, Kirchner,, Sortais, Boncella and others utilizes diethylamine‐core PNP ligands, pyridinyl‐core PNP and PN 3 P ligands and triazinyl‐core PN 5 P ligands. However, the major concerns of these phosphine based pincer ligands in base‐metal catalysis are not only their cost, which are usually more expensive than the nonprecious metals by many folds, but also the difficulties lie in their preparations and handling under standard laboratory conditions.…”
