title: When bigger is better: intermolecular hydrofunctionalizations of activated alkenes catalyzed by heteroleptic alkaline Earth complexes.
abstract: New alkaline-earth amido complexes catalyze the regioselective intermolecular hydroamination (see scheme; Ae=alkaline earth) and hydrophosphination of styrene and isoprene with unprecedented activities. The catalytic performances increased linearly with the size of the metal.
