DESCRIPTION:Professor Ruben Martin Romo\, Institute of Chemical Research o
 f Catalonia (ICIQ)\nTaming Multifaceted Nickel Catalysts: An Academic Fasc
 ination\n\n                                          
                                                  
      \n\nThe recent years have witnessed a renaissance in the general a
 rea of Ni-catalyzed reactions. The popularity of these processes is mainly
  attributed to the unique features of nickel when compared to its d10 cong
 eners\, and the promiscuity of nickel to participate in multiple redox man
 ifolds.[1] Our research group has reports some progress directed towards t
 he utilization of feedstock materials en route to added-value building blo
 cks by means of Ni-catalyzed transformations. Among these\, we have shown 
 the ability for incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic matter or 
 catalytic techniques that make use of simple (un)saturated hydrocarbons or
  native functionality to build up molecular complexity from simple precurs
 ors without losing sight their mechanistic considerations\, when appropria
 te.[2] These methods are characterized by their simplicity\, wide scope\, 
 including challenging substrate combinations with particularly sensitive f
 unctional groups and a diverse set of substitution patterns.\n\n
