This work may provide an alternative approach for rational design of other high-performance electrode materials for LIBs to satisfy demand for future sustainable development.α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds are key building blocks in organic chemistry. Their catalytic synthesis has received significant attention during the past decades. Among the known methodologies, carbonylation reactions represent an atom-efficient tool box to convert a variety of easily available substrates into valuable α,β-unsaturated carbonylated products including aldehydes, ketones, esters, amides, and carboxylic acids. Herein, we summarize the most important achievements in this field with a special focus on results from the last decade.Bromido[3-ethyl-4-aryl-5-(2-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-1-propyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]gold(i) complexes (8a-h) with methoxy, methyl and fluorine substituents at different positions of the 4-aryl ring were synthesized and characterized. The relevance of the 2-methoxypyridin-5-yl residue and the substituents at the 4-aryl ring with regard to the activity against a series of cell lines was determined. Particularly against the Cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line A2780cis, the most active bromido[3-ethyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(2-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-1-propyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]gold(i) complex 8c was more active than Auranofin. It also inhibited thioredoxin reductase more effectively and induced high amounts of reactive oxygen species in A2780cis cells. Furthermore, its influence on non-cancerous SV 80 lung fibroblasts was lower than that of Auranofin. This fact, together with a high accumulation rate in tumor cel
