	abstract = {<p>C-H/C-H oxidative coupling has emerged as a straightforward and powerful technique for the construction of (hetero)biaryls, with substantial application to drug discovery, agrochemicals, biology, and material sciences. Mainly aryl-aryl, aryl-heteroaryl, and heteroaryl-heteroaryl couplings via double C(sp(2))-H activation using 4d or 5d noble transition metal catalysts have been extensively studied. Considering the earth-abundant and inexpensive nature of 3d transition metals, the sustainable development of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(2))-H oxidative coupling employing such metal catalysts has gained significant attention. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(2))-H oxidative coupling of (hetero)arenes catalyzed by 3d transition metals.</p>

	Chemodivergent (de)hydrogenative coupling of azoarenes with benzyl alcohols is achieved via the N=N bond activation using an inexpensive and well-defined (6-OH-bpy)NiCl2 catalyst. This protocol highlights the construction of C-N bonds via a borrowing hydrogen strategy that offers substituted imines and amines. A range of azo compounds couple with various substituted benzyl alcohols in a tandem hydrogenation/dehydrogenation process. The nickel catalyst along with the K2CO3 or (KOBu)-Bu-t base governed the selectivity in imine and amine formation. A preliminary mechanistic study establishes the crucial role of metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) comprising the distinct radical pathways.</p>
