What are hit papers?

Hit papers significantly outperform the citation benchmark for their cohort. A paper qualifies if it has ≥500 total citations, achieves ≥1.5× the top-1% citation threshold for papers in the same subfield and year (this is the minimum needed to enter the top 1%, not the average within it), or reaches the top citation threshold in at least one of its specific research topics.

Werner, Helmut, Peter Schwab, Norbert Mahr, & Justin Wolf. (1992). Reaction of the dimeric bis(olefin)rhodium(I) compounds [RhCl(olefin)2]2 [olefinC8H14 (2), C2H4 (5)] with AsiPr3 and SbiPr3 gives mono‐ and dinuclear olefin(arsane) and olefin(stibane) complexes [RhCl(olefin)(EiPr3)]2 [olefinC8H14 (3, 4), C2H4 (6, 7)] and trans‐[RhCl(C2H4)(EiPr3)2] (8, 9). Treatment of 8 and 9 with CO, H2, and CPh2N2 leads to the displacement of the ethylene ligand with formation of the corresponding carbonyl (10, 11), dihydrido (12, 13), and diazoalkane (14) rhodium derivatives. In solution, compound 14 loses CPh2 to give trans‐[RhCl(N2)(AsiPr3)2] (15). The alkyne complexes trans‐[RhCl(HCC)(AsiPr3)2] (16–18), which are prepared either from 8 or [RhH2Cl(AsiPr3)2] (12) and HCC (RH, Ph, CO2Me), rearrange in solution to produce the vinylidenerhodium isomers trans‐[RhCl(CCHR)(AsiPr3)2] (19–21). Reaction of 8 with HCCMe and HCCtBu leads directly to the vinylidene complexes 22, 23. Compound 8 reacts with excess propyne, but–2‐yne, or 2,2–dimethylpent–2‐yne to give the rhodium allenes trans‐[RhCl(η2‐CH2CCHR)(AsiPr3)2] (25–27) in nearly quantitative yields. With DCCMe as a substrate, it is shown that two propyne molecules are involved in the rearrangement to generate the coordinated allene. The crystal and molecular structure of trans‐[RhCl(η2‐CH2CCH2)(AsiPr3)2] (27) has been determined.. Chemische Berichte. 125(12). 2641–2650. 36 indexed citations

Rankless uses publication and citation data sourced from OpenAlex, an open and comprehensive bibliographic database. While OpenAlex provides broad and valuable coverage of the global research landscape, it—like all bibliographic datasets—has inherent limitations. These include incomplete records, variations in author disambiguation, differences in journal indexing, and delays in data updates. As a result, some metrics and network relationships displayed in Rankless may not fully capture the entirety of a scholar's output or impact.
