Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between Buchwald, phosphine, NHC, and chiral ligands?
Choose by reaction type: Buchwald ligands for Pd-catalyzed C–N and C–C coupling, phosphine ligands for general transition metal catalysis, NHC ligands for stable carbene chemistry and Ru/Pd catalysis, and chiral ligands for asymmetric induction.
Which ligand subcategory should I start with for my reaction?
For Buchwald-Hartwig amination, start with Buchwald Ligands. For asymmetric hydrogenation, use Chiral Ligands. For olefin metathesis and Ru catalysis, browse NHC Ligands. For general Pd/Pt/Rh catalysis, start with Phosphine Ligands.
What specifications matter most when comparing ligands?
Air and moisture sensitivity, purity (≥95% typical), enantiomeric excess for chiral ligands, ligand-to-metal ratio recommendations, and compatibility with your substrate. Storage under inert atmosphere is often required.
Can I find ligands paired with specific metals?
Yes. Filter by metal compatibility (Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Ir, Ni) or browse pre-formed metal-ligand complexes in the NHC and Phosphine subcategories.
